Does not correctly parse Zimbabwe numbers +263

[rayteale]

Version 3.1.31

Does not seem to recognise valid Zimbabwe numbers.

1. Cresta Hotel in Harare +263 24 2772633 : { isValid: false, phoneNumber: null, countryIso2: null, countryIso3: null, countryCode: null }

2. By contrast Mojo Hotel in Cape Town +27 87 940 7474 : { isValid: true, phoneNumber: '+27879407474', countryIso2: 'ZA', countryIso3: 'ZAF', countryCode: '+27' }

note that the library cannot detect landline phone numbers properly. https://github.com/AfterShip/phone#faq thank you very much

Not just landline numbers. Also fails with eSim mobile numbers. i havent tested with other Zim mobiles.

Can you provide the precise correct format (and the prove showing those are the correct mobile phone number format)?

[Bossa573]

Format refering to https://github.com/AfterShip/phone/blob/master/src/data/country_phone_data.ts#L1896

mainly about phone number prefix and the phone number length

My customer complained with a number [+263 78 589 xxxx]. Apparently this is an eSim number in Zimbabwe. My application is for mobiles only. Perhaps they have recently added 78 to mobile area codes. Unfortunately I am not in that country so cant test at all. (I can confirm that it works with other mobiles).

Apparently 78 is valid mobile for Zimbabwe - according to Wikipedia. Econet Wireless Zimbabwe. See "How to call a Zimbabwe mobile phone number" on this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Zimbabwe

I'll add 78 to it in the next release
