Package: bbdb
Version: 2.36-3
Severity: normal

I have a german phone number i would like to store in bbdb.

It is canonically written on a business card as +49 XX XXXX XXXX (the
X's are standins for decimal digits).

when i try to enter this in bbdb, bbdb says "phone number unparseable"

It works when i enter it as:

 49XXXXXXXXXX

but that is then stored as:

 49X-XXXX xXXXXX

which is a silly way to store it.

for a contact manager in a global world, bbdb needs to do a better job
with international phone numbers.
