Why is this a valid spec? "should normalize a number with erroneous zero inside" about phony HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Fred

Thanks for asking.
Phony only works with numbers that are in the E164 Format (see more here: http://floere.github.com/phony/e164.html), meaning that it needs the country code.

Even though the given number is a valid US number, since phony should be working for all international numbers, it has no way of knowing it is a US number.

So what it needs is the country code for the US (and Canada), 1, to be working correctly.
So if you give it "001 (310) 897-8881" it will return "13108978881", the normalized E164 representation of an international phone number which you then can split, or format, should you want that.

Hope that helped. Cheers

P.S: #normalize works also with numbers that are not E164 normalized, but has all numbers necessary to be able to normalize it to a E164 normal representation.
