Remarks

NoteNote: To obtain optimal results, before performing data cleansing on phone numbers, the area code or governorate (which are often stored in databases separately from the base number) should first be concatenated with the base number.

You can apply the Phone (Legacy Mobile Conversion) standardization definition prior to applying the Phone match definition if matching legacy numbers with their current format is desired.
