When I enter a phone number I'd like it to be auto-formatted.

Currently I setup field type of Phone and type 8003334444, but it doesn't format to (800) 333-4444 let alone if I add an extension.

If I type a hyperlink in HTML I can add extensions, but extensions are relatively rare, so I think that could be an additional feature request if you can't find a solution in a reasonable amount of time.

<a href="tel:+441234567,88">+44-123-4567 ext. 88</a>

There are also fields where it auto-formats as you type. This would be ideal, but not necessary. It could auto-format after I finished typing.

Hey @RDL

Thanks for letting us know that you would like to see this feature. We really appreciate you for exploring the app and giving time in finding this valuable suggestion. The suggestion has been noted for further consideration.

What language would you prefer to do this in?

Here's another example using C# - the phone number is on the bottom:

Keep in mind, though, that not all phone numbers have extensions, so it might not be necessary for everyone.

I'm new here and I just wanted to add that, if you're lookin' to auto-format phone numbers in your field, you could try using some HTML code to achieve that. For example, you can use the ""tel"" attribute to create a hyperlink with the phone number and extension, like this:
tel:+441234567,88+44-123-4567 ext. 88 As for auto-formatting while you type, that could be a cool feature but might be a bit trickier to implement. But hey, it's always worth putting in a feature request if you're keen on it! You can also check out this send and receive sms online free australia for more options.
