Feature request
Verify and implement support of calling local emergency / short numbers (911, 112, 116117, 103, e.t.c.)
Additional context
General:
-
default_phone_regionshould be supplied in any case - Emergency centers can ping caller location from the mobile device, how is could done via SIP?
- E.g. if address of company might be registered, what if user is calling remotely?
Frontend:
- Requires a validation on client:
- we can migrate from
libphonenumber-jstogoogle-libphonenumberto support validating short codes (larger library, but it's already async)
- we can migrate from
API:
- Check if number is modified in the process
SIP:
- Check if number is modified in the process
- Quote: "The SIP bridge will call the number as received from Talk - but will evaluate any configured
number-prefixorreplace-prefixesfrom its server.conf."

Research direction
Start by tracing client validation with libphonenumber-js, then follow how the API and SIP Bridge process numbers, including default_phone_region and the server.conf number-prefix or replace-prefixes settings. Compare short-code validation with google-libphonenumber and define done as emergency numbers being accepted and passed unchanged through the API and SIP flow, with location handling clarified.
