Remarks The Phone (Electronic) standardization definition also converts legacy Greek phone numbers to the current format, as in the final example above. That said, it is recommended that you first use the Phone identification analysis definition to identify invalid numbers before standardizing them, as the standardized output of invalid phone numbers might appear confusing.
