Benefits include improved contact organization (ensure all your phone numbers follow a consistent and professional format) and simplified international calling (easily identify and dial international numbers with the correct prefix). Your phone numbers are processed locally on your device and are never stored, shared, or transmitted. e.164: The international standard format (+15555648583) ensures seamless global communication and compatibility with various systems. International: A more readable international format (+1 555-564-8583) with spaces and hyphens for easy dialing and identification.
