Default Country Code?

Is there a way append a default country code? If no Country code is typed? I am thinking along the lines of, mobile = PhoneNumberField(required=True, country='india') or mobile = PhoneNumberField(required=True, country='+91') My users are not smart enough to add their own country code, sometimes. It raises few errors. I currently tell them add the country code in a html placeholder.

HI @CT83, I think you can add this config PHONENUMBER_DEFAULT_REGION = "IN" in settings.py.

Passing a region is not meant to restrict phone numbers to a given region, it is meant to interpret regional phone number input in the context of a specified region. It is not meant to force users to have a phone number in the given region.

For example, North American phone numbers are usually written 6044011234. That number only works for people calling from the North America, it is regional. To call it from another place in the world, one has to prefix it with +1, so that it reads [phone]. In other regions in the world, 6044011234 may reach a different phone in that region. Setting the default region allows interpreting 6044011234 as [phone], uniquely identifying the phone number.

To implement your use case, you could create a validator that checks the phone number country code, e.g.:

>>> import phonenumber
>>> z = phonenumbers.parse('[phone]')
>>> z.country_code
