Register new number: Country selection usability issue #115

Open ivelin opened 10 years ago

ivelin commented 10 years ago

The number registration page shows no clue where to start. The Country field is blank and there is no drop down. What am I supposed to type - numbers, names, something else? Why not a country drop down?

When I type +1 it only lists US territories, but not mainland. When I start typing US, then the mainland shows up.

Well, in fact you can either type the number or the name of the country, it will match either. The situation with the US is very specific. It can be minimized by changing US mainland entry to a position where it will show ahead of other US territories (or even on top of all countries, if that make sense). Also may change the limit of options it displays (currently 10) to a greater number.

Thought the typeahead would be more useful for this as it allows both searching for country code or country name and is a bit easier to filter through the big dataset which is the countries list. Let me know if it should use just a simple dropdown.

I see. Maybe the field show have a help tip pop-up like the one for the regular number, which reads: "Begin typing the country name or the country code starting with a + sign".

Regarding US, yes, mainland should come first as it is by far the biggest population of users for all US territories.

Thanks.
