Remarks	Note: 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.
Remarks	The Phone (with Governorate) standardization definition inserts the القاهرة الكبرى string onto eight-digit numbers, as shown in the third example.
