Describe the feature you want - Is your feature request related to a problem? - How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

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?

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!
