[SHR] Setting regional codes

[Tilman Baumann]

Sorry I missed the whole thread. Need to read it all in a free minute.
Sorry if I spam you with irrelevant stuff. But my post to dial plans and
number cannonification from last year might be interesting for you guys.

There was much discussion on that thread. But the conclusion is, if you
know your dialplan (internationalPrefix, longDistancePrefix and
countryCode) you can transform every local number into the full
international form +xxyyzzzzz

And from that, if you would like you can transform it back by applying
your dial plan. But there is of course not much need for that on cell
networks.

 Tilman
