Phone number does not accept prefix for country code

[jamz903]

This should be accepted as it is typical for an address book to allow the user to input the country code so that it is easier to dial others. The current feature blocks the usage of + and spaces, but one of the above formats should be accepted. i.e., +6512345678 or 65 12345678

I disagree with this, as it is quite common to meet international students or make connections with visiting professionals during networking events, since NUS is quite a diverse community. I believe this would cause an occasional inconvenience to users, and thus I put Medium Severity.
