Phone Number Format

    Hello, I’m from Indonesia.
    Here, we have 3 common variations on how people entry phone numbers:
    1. 0812345678
    2. +62812345678
    3. 62812345678

    While +62 is the country code for Indonesia.
    Unfortunately, this plugin doesn’t work for the variation no. 1.
    I don’t want the user to change on how they submit their phone numbers.
    Would you give me advise on how to send to 62812345678 (no.3) when the phone number is 0812345678 (no.1) without changing the user’s phone number format in the user’s database?
    Thanks.

    That kind of problems is generated by the SMS gateways API limitations.

    Wich SMS gateway are you using?

    I’m using bulkSMS.

    BulkSMS required an international prefix always, and the WooCommerce – APG SMS Notifications add it always.

    If you write 0812345678, you are sending a SMS message to 620812345678 number. Try to write it without 0, maybe that 0 be the problem.

    Kind regards.

    Off course the 0 is the problem. Thas was what I’m trying to say. The thing is, I don’t want my customer to change the usual way how they wrote phone numbers.
    I just want to replace that first 0 with country code (62) while sending the SMS.
    Is there any code I could add or what SMS gateway I should use to solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Did you try to add a pattern attribute to phone input?

    Only Open DND doesn’t require an international prefix always.

    Kind regards.

    What do you mean with pattern attribute?
    Isn’t Open DND only for India?

    Read the HTML5 documentation.

    Yes, just for India.

    Kind regards.
