Australian 13-numbers do not get correctly formatted.

In Australia, 13-smart numbers (different from 1300 numbers, as 13-numbers are 6 digits long) do not correctly get formatted using the AsYouType formatter.

According to the Australian style guide (https://www.stylemanual.gov.au/style-rules-and-conventions/numbers-and-measurements/telephone-numbers) 6 digit 13 numbers should be written like this:

13 33 45

Using the AsYouTypeFormatter from the Google Demo, it gets rendered correctly.

Using libphonenumber-js, it gets rendered as

133345

No worries, happy to help 😃

This is not a number without an area code. Similar to the 1300 number (https://libphonenumber.appspot.com/phonenumberparser?number=1300555444&country=AU) which does get formatted correctly, the 13 number works in all areas of Australia.

Note, this has already been reported on issue #297, however, it is important to note that the number format that was shown was for Premium rate SMS - but this issue is not a premium rate SMS number. As shown in the screenshot, it is a SHARED_COST number, similar to 1300-numbers.

Smartnumbers® are 13, 1300 or 1800 telephone numbers. Smartnumbers® include phonewords like 13 CATS (13 2287) and distinctive patterned numbers such as 1300 222 222.

Smartnumbers are catchy numbers. They might:

• be in a pattern, such as 1300 456 789
• have double digits, such as 1300 222 222
