The app only allows phone number in the form of 8xxxxxxx and 9xxxxxxx. However, according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Singapore), 6xxxxxxx is also valid.

Team's Response

POCs being required to list their handphone numbers was a developer choice. POCs should not list landlines (6xxxxxxx) or even Business and Corporate IP Telephony Services (3xxxxxxx) as these numbers are often shared by a team of people and unlike emails, cannot be efficiently accessed by the person in question if he or she is not in the office when the call comes.

We should have been more clear about this in our UG. Our apologies and thank you for your feesback nonetheless.
