Phone number validation

Unfortunately Esendex does not support this feature.

When using FileCap Server 4.3.0 (or higher) and the SMS providers Twilio or Messagebird local phone numbers (without +countrycode) will be validated. The phone number validation will tell FileCap if the specified phone number looks valid and transform the phone number to international format.
