This would also support HubSpot’s investment in AirCall: because of this formatting issue, contacts already in HS (with the AirCall integration enabled) show up as phone numbers instead of known contacts with names.
This is a solved problem. Embarassing that HubSpot hasn’t solved this issue already.
I only do business in the US. Let me set a default in my Contact objects that all phone numbers should have a +1 country code extension unless otherwise set on the specific contact.
