forbidden category

[andrius]

Hello,

Its nice to see this app live – I was forked to add Lithuania and Spain, but you already have them.

However, I do not agree with your classification for 'forbidden' category, I believe, it should be exploded into: tolfree, premium, forbidden categories...

Let's discuss for example about my home country (Lithuania), we have an official dial plan for country

Phone number length including country code (370) is 11 digits (e164), followed by non-zero area code and a phone number (which could start with zero);

We also have 3 to 6-digits 'short' numbers to call information services, taxis etc.

Back to subject – area codes starting with 8 and 9 is not 'forbidden' but toll-free and premium numbers, according to the dialing plan, 'forbidden' should be on 'reserved' numbers category.

What do you think, is it good idea to add more categories? / Regards

Hello,

Thanks very much for writing in.

I absolutely agree that the forbidden category is incorrect for Lithuania.
In fact, this category may be incorrect for quite a few other countries. We
use this library only to distinguish between mobile phone numbers and
non-mobile phone numbers, so for us, every number that is not mobile is not
interesting for us.

If you'd like to fix your countries of interest, I'd be very happy to pull
your changes back. Adding more categories also would be a nice thing to
have, but I'm afraid we don't have the resources available to extend it to
the many other countries.

Best regards,
