Research direction

The payload names no source file, so start by finding where the dialer formats phone numbers for display, and reproduce it with a Swiss number such as 0xx xxx xx xx or +41. Check how a country code is chosen when a number is shown, since the report says Swiss numbers are treated as French. Done when Swiss national and international numbers display in the grouping given in the linked Wikipedia conventions, and the existing tests still pass.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Many phone numbers format are not corrects, for example:

local CH format are displayed
0x xx xx xx xx
and should be 0xx xxx xx xx
and when you use an intl indicatif :
+(=00 equivalent)41 xx xxx xx xx

I have tested the CH number but I'm sure with France and other countries it is not properly correct. the number called in Switzerland is taken as a French number , right now that a problem for me, because patterns are known, read more here for ex.
