Parsing numbers with leading zeros about libphonenumber-csharp HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm not sure I fully understand your issue, are you able to try out the numbers using http://libphonenumber.appspot.com? +70161610088 and +70011610088 show up as invalid

from libphonenumber-csharp.

Hi, @twcclegg.
They got parsed fine (or it only seems for me) with options:
defaultCountry entered: RU
Language entered: ru-RU

Still, my issue is what that numbers with leading zeros are parsed into long without them (its nature into parsing any string with leading zeros into long):

long.Parse("001") -> 1

so 'GetLengthOfNationalDestinationCode' function returns wrong value of national destination code length (it's 0), because the array inside has it's value (for example) {"7", "16160088"}

I'd like to parse out national destionation code and subscriber number out of national number without any other hacks.

Can you send me a link like http://libphonenumber.appspot.com/phonenumberparser?number=%2B74011610088 that shows the number(s) in question in E.164 format that shows it as possible and valid along with AsYouTypeFormatter results? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Russia#List_of_area_codes_in_Russia says all area codes starting with a 0 expired in 2006.

70161610088 parse result
70061610088 parse result

Despite that they are all expired - we're able to use them inside of our infrastructure (I'm working in one of Russia's telecom company), so numbers like this are still in db's.

Yes, as it shows, both have isValidNumber as flase, and otherwise invalid. You would have to file an issue with Google. They maintain what is valid.

I'm clearing my subscriptions for now and as I remember as we spoke last time - author said number format with leading zeros is invalid and I've agreed with him for a while... until I've got a call from a number with leading zero.
So, this is not about Google and their decisions, this is about usability that provides some kind of comfort to work with.
That's all my thoughts, bye.
