#### But my dialled number connected, so isn't it valid?
Not necessarily. In some countries extra digits at the end are ignored. For
example, dialling `1800 MICROSOFT` in the US connects to `+1 (800) MIC-ROSO`.
Moreover, during renumbering transitions, e.g. when all numbers are getting an
extra `9` added to the front, some carriers will "fix" old numbers long after
they're no longer working for the majority.

* In some countries extra digits at the end are ignored. For example, dialling
`1800 MICROSOFT` in the US connects to `+1 (800) MIC-ROSO`.
* During renumbering transitions, e.g. when all numbers are getting an extra
`9` added to the front, some operators will "fix" old numbers long after
they're no longer working for the majority.
* Numbers that are only locally-diallable e.g. a 7-digit number dialled in the
US are not valid, because without the rest of the number it is impossible
for the library to canonicalize this.
### When should I use isValidNumberForRegion?
