Team's Response

We acknowledge that the phone number validation can be improved, as indicated in one of the planned enhancements listed in the 'Appendix' of the Developer Guide.

We understand that the tester may have concerns about the current approach, as it allows users to input non-valid phone numbers. However, our goal is to provide users with more flexibility when entering phone numbers.

In the current phase, we have prioritized flexibility over strict validation for the phone field. While there may be room for improvement, we believe that this approach provides users with more options for entering their phone numbers.
