Which idiot coded this limitation into their system?
Has she ever seen a phone book outside her own village?
I hope they fix this as soon as possible. (Sent a bug report two days ago.)
I'm not buying the game if it doesn't let me.
Bad error message:
"Phone number must be 10 digits. Only numbers spaces -,(.)+ are allowed."
A better message would be:
"Phone numbers must be 7-12 digits long. Numbers, spaces, and some special characters: -,(.)+ are allowed."
Why do they allow all those special punctuation when the user is limited to 10 digits anyway? If I was to decorate my phone number it would be 25 characters long, not 10:
+ __ / __ - ___ - __ - __
And even in the most compact form it takes 12 characters: +___________
