Had same issue when trying from UK. Number was similar to +447761444669

@efraa any ideas about this issue?

We had the same issue. The problem is the generated request.

When you look at the request send, its seems to miss the "+" sign. When you add it manually and resend the request you can add numbers.

Hi @salami-dev,

Thanks for taking the time to try Fonoster. I will be evaluating this issue and will give updates on it no later than next Monday.

Hi @salami-dev,

We found part of the problem and it comes from the library we are using to validate the numbers, it seems that Nigerian numbers are up to 11 digits long but the lib assumes they should be 10 digits.

Check: https://github.com/AfterShip/phone/blob/master/src/data/country_phone_data.ts#L1266

We will open an issue for this and next week we will patch the node_modules if necessary.

Hi @efraa

Thanks for diagnosing the issue.

Nigerian mobile numbers are 11 digits long.

Landlines are generally 8 - 9 digits, ex: 012802500

@salami-dev

We added support for Nigerian phone numbers.

Would you test configuring your number and let us know?

Hi @psanders

Still unable to add from the fonoster console.

Same issue with French numbers (starting with +33), except I'm able to add them on the dashboard but they don't work with the node SDK.

Further informations :
I'm trying to make outbound calls with the SDK but I'm getting an error saying the "from" value isn't a valid e164 number (but it's the exact same as the one registered on the dashboard)

@MRakox, thank you for reporting this issue. I will work on finding a solution as soon as I am able to allocate some time for it.
