In the mask for cell phone, you have:
(##) #####-####
It means that the number will be read as:
(01) 12345 6789
by instance, in Portugal, we use:
## ### ####
reading 91 991 5664
or
### ### ###
919 915 664

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply, let me verify whether I understood
it clearly or not. Will publish in this message my cell phone number
besides my friend's cell phone number with the country code included
then will ask my question.
My cell phone number is: +9613636023. (961) is the country code
number. (3) is the area code number and the (636023) is my cell phone number.
My friend's cell phone number is: +96170566759. (961) is the country
code number. (70) is the area code number and the (566759) is his cell
phone number.
Do I understand that I have to write down any of these cell phone
numbers in the edit box of the add a mask to cell phones no matter if
numbers are spaced or not?
Kindest regards,
Badih Khalil Zeinoun

Hi!
No, in the edit box add a mask you write:
(###)# ######
but you have a problem...
some numbers should use the mask as:
(###)## ######
Don't know how to accomplish that, but I can ask the author...
Best regards,

Thanks for your reply, now I understood clearly how things work but I
noticed when you are writing the number signs in the mask edit box, you
neglected the left and right parenthesis () especially in the country
code position in the mask edit box. If these parenthesis are not
surrounding the four number signs, does that affects anything in the
pronunciation of the country code position?
Will write down my friend's cell phone number as it should be written
in the cell phone edit box then will ask you my question: 96170566759.
Should I add the 00 myself to the number or this app adds them automatically?
Have a pleasant weekend,
Badih Khalil Zeinoun

Thanks a lot for your illustrative reply, now everything became clear
for me and I applied it thoroughly as described threw your message but
it is a splendid idea to consult the author concerning the 2 digit area
code so we can fix such problem as most of our cell phones area codes
in Lebanon are 2 digits. I noticed that it is impossible to add the +
sign when composing your both cell and phone numbers in the specified
edit boxes with the country code number included. Does it means that I
must write the full numbers neglecting the + sign?
Have all a nice weekend,
