With the phone formats feature, you can manage phone numbers in POM. Depending on your configuration, POM saves the phone numbers in the database and applies phone formats, reject patterns, and dialing rules. POM provides a list of G14 and other countries with the country codes and the phone formats. In the POM database, you can add missing country codes. To add a country, specify the country code, the country name, the standard phone number length, and the phone prefix. When you specify the standard phone number length, the minimum phone number length must be greater than zero, and the maximum phone number length can be 99. POM displays the default values for the minimum phone number length as 3 and the maximum phone number length as 15.

If the standard phone number length is less than the minimum length before the number is imported to the contact list, POM prefixes the digits that you specify for the phone number and then checks whether the number is between the minimum and maximum lengths of the standard phone number. This procedure ensures consistent formatting for all the phone numbers stored in POM. If the number does not match the standard format, POM empties the phone attribute.
