I use Pixel Phone Pro which is out of the market now. This dialer is very useful in the way that is have custom formats for number. All my numbers are save as pure numbers like 555697 or with local area code 55555697. Mobile phones that have more numbers are 955567658. 1-800 numbers are 1800654789. All just examples.
Since every country have a different number of phone format and each type of phone have a different format, I save them on pure number format and Pixel Phone Pro formats them in an easily readable way. That is manually set. So if I type:
### ### numbers that are 6 characters will be 555 697
9## ### ### numbers that start with 9 (which in my country are mobiles) will be shown are 955 567 658.
(55) ### ### number that have area code will show with parenthesis for area code and the rest with space.
1 800 ### ### will auto format numbers that start with 1 800.
The problem is that Pixel Pro is out of market. The app was made for Android 4, which doesn't play very well in 7 or 8, due to need to buttons bar to navigate. Plus old theme etc. I cannot find any other dialer that have the same option. It surprises me that is not a high demand feature. Because the way phones are shown in vanilla dialer is hard to read.
Another point in favor for saving phones in pure number is for example that in my country recently mobile phones got an extra 9 number on it. So it was 9889 0987 and now is 99889 0987. So since now there is 9 numbers the obvious better way is to show 3 by 3 not 4 by 4 ou 5 by 4. So 998 890 987. If I had saved with a space after 4 numbers, now all number would show wrong. With this filter/custom format I can show it in anyway I want.
