This is a feature that I am missing from other phones which would correctly format the numbers with correct spacing.
For example in UK:
5-6: 07123 123456 //Mobile
3-4-4: 029 2012 3456 //Landline
And with international code:
3-4-6: +44 7123 123456 //International
Every country would have their own, I am prety sure that people would be happy to contribute the formatting strings for this :)

Good idea, but I think it would be better to have a space key in phone number edit. So everyone can decide how to separate the number. Also there will be no discussions about wrong layouts.
Yep, it works as well. I copied my number as a 5-6: to clipboard, then pasted into dummy contact. It shows as was pasted and sending a text to myself worked.

I definitely support this request! Thanks for bringing this up.
thesix ( 2016-10-03 13:05:03 +0200 )editFine: but be aware that the recommended formatting of UK landlines is complicated. For example 4-3-4, 5-6 (mine), and 6-5 is also used.
Trivia: some of these can still be traced to the original exchange names and alphabetic dialling. I lived in Harrow, code HAR which became 427. South Harrow was 297, originally BYRon - after the the poet, who once lived there. Extra digits have been added since but often preserving a trace the original spacing as printed on the disc in the middle of the dial.

nthn ( 2016-10-03 17:39:00 +0200 )editFormatting is not so important for me. A possible key for inserting a space manually is missing.
