I answer all these questions below! 👇
When you travel in a foreign country, and you try to call a number that you've registered without adding the country code, you'll face a problem as strange as it is foolish: "The number you're trying to reach is not assigned"
What I want to add is an optional feature that automatically adds the expected country code before every number that doesn't have its own.
A little scenario
e.g., you're a British guy who travels in France, and you want to reach your grandma to give her some news.
The number of your grandma is +44 (0)20 1234 5678
, but you have registered it as Grandma: 02012345678
You try to call her with your favourite dialer app, let's say Koler, but after some biiiips, you hear (with a beautiful French accent): "Désolé, le numéro que vous essayez de joindre n'est pas disponible". That's a problem!
Then, with this feature configured to United-Kingdom (+44)
, Koler will react like this:
[USER] I wanna call my grandma at 02012345678
[AUTO-DIAL] WARNING: No country code detected for 02012345678 phone number!
[AUTO-DIAL] Adding selected country code (+44) before number and omitting the first 0...
[KOLER] Dialing +44 20 1234 5678 in progress...
Hurray! You can finally call your grandma without any extra clicks!
How would Koler obtain the relevant country code for this operation?
How would Koler obtain the relevant country code for this operation?
Exactly what i wanted to ask
Based on the country set in the device's settings (or a manual edit in Koler preferences)! I imagine that only numbers from the same country as the phone's owner don't necessarily have the country code!
