Team's Response

Phone number only accepts numeric characters, a whitespace is not numeric.

9188 4836 is a valid phone number, but the user can just remove the whitespace in the middle to form 91884836 (it's the same number) to be accepted as numeric.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: [I feel that this is a valid case of overzealous input validation as using spaces like this is quite common when people type in phone numbers. The team should have at least tried to throw a warning, or simply remove any whitespace between numbers, which would have allowed the user to continue using the app without many problems.]
