[country codes] Setting to "render" plus sign in numbers
Can we have a setting where we set what +
should be "rendered" as? Maybe also with an exception setting for the local country.
Explanation:
My current carrier requires me to dial specific international carrier select numbers if I dial
00-[cc]
or+-[cc]
I get a nice recording saying I need to use a carrier select code (this even though they are my international carrier).When visiting the US
00-[cc]
does not work but rather011-[cc]
needs to be dialed (or+-[cc]
)If I switch carrier again or go to another country the international carrier select will be different again.
So I want to avoid needing to change all my International contacts from +-[cc]-[number]
to [cs]-[cc]-[number]
and I also don't want local numbers to be "rendered" as [cs]-[cc]-[number]
just because they are saved with the + notation.
Looking at List_of_international_call_prefixes it's quite a long list of prefixes to implement (although, I'm not sure whether the limited country support for Sailfish would affect the list of carrier cases they are willing to cover)

+
into011
except for numbers with country prefix1
" for instance.Basically 2 input/setting fields:
- Carrier select number
- Current country prefix

012
for country prefix1
, Use013
for country prefix44
, Use019
for all others." etc.That might be an interesting feature/app....
