### What about numbers that are only valid for a set of subscribers?
There are some numbers that only work for the subcribers of certain operators
for special operator-specific services. These differ from carrierSpecific since
they're not shortcodes. We don't support these numbers due to their limited use
scope, few examples (only the [area code 700](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_700)
in the US), and lack of authoritative evidence.
Until there are more examples with authoritative evidence and a proposal on how
the library should handle these numbers, we won't be able to support these
similar to our prerequisites for supporting M2M.
Please see [this issue](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/65238929) for more
context, and file a new issue if you're able to provide more information than this.
