In WHMCS 7.4 and later, you can easily enter and store international phone numbers.
This system ensures a consistent and uniform phone number format combining the country prefix and phone number:
+ [Country Code] . [Phone Number]
Configuration
In WHMCS 7.4 and later, this feature is enabled by default. The system will save the client's phone number in the database and automatically prefix it with the international country dialing code.
To disable this, uncheck Phone Numbers in the Localisation tab at Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > General Settings. When you disable this feature, the system will not add the prefix in the database but will display it in the Admin Area and Client Area.
Automatic Number Formatting
The pre-selected country will default to your WHMCS system default country. The system will update the selected country whenever you change the client's physical address. This change will occur even if the phone number is currently empty.
Users can also begin typing a phone number that begins with a country code in the format +XX and the system will update the country.
The update process will automatically convert existing client phone numbers when they display in a phone number field. The phone number value will update in the database the first time that an admin or client saves the phone number.
Order Forms
For example:
