Can we have the option to format Israeli cellphone numbers to work better when exporting to personal Contacts, for WhatsApp? Like this: +972 52 4560102

Question

From WhatsApp:

To format an Israeli phone number for compatibility with WhatsApp, you should use the following format:

+972 [area code] [phone number]

Note:

* +972 is the international calling code for Israel
* [area code] is the 2-digit area code (e.g. 03 for Tel Aviv, 04 for Haifa, etc.)
* [phone number] is the 7-digit phone number

Example: +972 3 1234567

This format will ensure that WhatsApp can recognize the number as an Israeli phone number and allow you to send messages or make calls.

Answer 1

Where are you exporting it from? A report? Sure we can export like that.

I want to export a list of names and phone numbers to Excel (like a Mail Merge).

We can make a custom report for you to be able to export you phone numbers in the format you would like.

 

I dont see why whatsapp needs it in that format, also you can sync your contacts with Gmail directly and then it would be in your phone too.

Answer 2

You can enter the phone number in any format you like, and that is the format you will see it everywhere.

I need to be able to add the plus sign + before the first numeral. That's all. Can you enable that in the phone fields? Like this:

+972 53-123-4567

Why do you need the plus sign?
