 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to push the submitted data to an external DB,
    the + sign is not being
   read, where can I replace it with %2B to make sure it gets read?
 * Thank you.

    I found the field,
   it’s in the intlTelInput.js file, line 302, …but replacing the + with %2B did
   solve my problem. FYI.

 * IT seems like the contact form 7 form-tags are not working somehow.
    I have the
   same issue with “placeholder”even if contact form 7 documentation states this:“
   You can use the placeholder option in the following types of form tags: text,
   email, url, tel, textarea, number, range, date, and captchar.”

 * Hi [@mandy-semaan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandy-semaan/),
 * I added a new feature for disabling the phone dial code number. You can disable
   it and use a plain phone number field. I hope it will work for you. Please response,
   if you have more suggestion for me.
 * If plugin useful for you. Please appreciate my work with 5 star rating. I will
   try to keep updating it.
 * Regards
    Narinder.
