Country

In the Country form you setup and store lists of countries with their specified default mask as the format for all the phone and fax numbers. By default, it provides at least 163 countries with the Country Code, City/Area Digits, City/Area Mask, Local Digits, Local Number Mask, and Display Country Code.

The Country form is also used to validate the minimum number of digits required for a phone number field.  For example if the country was United States you would be required to enter at least 10 digits or more.  This would take the City/Area Digits (3) + the Local Digits (7) and add them together for a total of 10.  This would prevent anyone from entering only 7 digits and help keep the format correct.  It would then assume the first digit was the city code and the next 7 were the local number and anything after that was the extension.
