Phone number parsing overly strict

[nus-se-bot]

Does not accept number that does not start with 6, 8 or 9, and not 8 digits long. Overly constrained to fit into a Singapore context, where as there is no mention that this is a Singapore only app in the UG

after using ctrl+f

what if my friend that I want to add only has a foreign number? There is no ability to add his number just his tele-handle and name

Firstly, this is not "A flaw that affects most users and causes major problems for users. i.e., makes the product almost unusable for most users." as per the definition of a high severity bug. If valid, it should be low severity "A flaw that is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product. Appears only in very rare situations and causes a minor inconvenience only.".

Do understand that this was a change made following feedback from the PE-D, whereas before, it followed the AB3 restrictions for phone numbers (at least 3 digits). I concede that perhaps it would be better to state in the DG/UG that the context of the product is in Singapore, however, that is not the issue here. Thus I would argue that the phone numbers are not too restrictive, rather that the tester was unclear of the context.
