Article summary
Handle +377 and +33 phones in a Monaco cross-border list by separating business market, numbering plan and WhatsApp Activity evidence.
A +33 phone in a Monaco business list is not automatically a cleanup failure. Cross-border customers, workers or service relationships may use French phones. Forcing them into +377 would destroy source evidence.
One record has three geographic views
| View | Evidence source | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Numbering plan | +377, +33 or another code | Formatting |
| Business market | Order and service location | Operations |
| Present location | User self-report | Specific service |
Route by numbering plan
Preserve phone_raw and country_evidence and create candidates under their own rules. A file belonging to a Monaco project is not a reason to prepend +377.
Activity does not prove cross-border movement
Activity time is a platform observation. It cannot show that a person is in Monaco, France or commuting. Location needs its own record.
The queue purpose must be specific
Use time ordering for authorised support, event coordination or another time-sensitive service. General market analysis does not need person-level activity.
One TXT, multiple rules
The execution file still contains one phone per line, while an internal crosswalk retains numbering plan, market and provenance. Results reconnect under the original evidence.
A mapped phone does not change market
A confirmed mapping may be appended, but it does not turn a +33 customer into a France market or a +377 phone into a Monaco resident.
Report two phone pools separately
Show submitted, exception, returned and unknown for +377 and +33. Summarise business market separately so phone structure does not replace customer structure.
Expiry and opt-out cross views
Activity expires at valid_until, while opt-out covers confirmed related phones. Switching the numbering view cannot bypass suppression.
The key Monaco judgment
Country-page value is not “keep only local phones.” It is handling cross-border reality correctly: phone, market and activity keep separate evidence.
