Important limitation
Country code versus caller identity
- A country code indicates a numbering plan, not the caller's identity or trustworthiness.
- Forwarding, roaming, VoIP and number portability can separate a number from the user's current location.
- Do not treat a matching prefix as proof that a call is local or legitimate.
