I try to enter an Australian phone number like "2 xxxx xxxx", and get:
You have not entered a valid australian phone number. Please enter a 10 digit phone number including the area code, but not including the 61 international prefix. Valid 1800, 1300, and 13 numbers are accepted, as are satilite and AMPS numbers.
Here is an example of several numbers in NSW with that common format: https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=businesses+in+NSW+Australia&ie=UTF-8

tripper54 commentedIn Australia area codes have a leading zero, which you drop when you internationalise the number.
Most Australians, when asked to enter a phone number following the instructions above, would add a leading zero , eg 02 xxxx xxxx. This is how you dial numbers with area codes in Australia.
You drop the leading zero when adding the country code, ie 02 xxxx xxxx becomes +61 2 xxxx xxxx.
So I think the module works as it should.
