# Phone Number Clean up user-entered phone numbers so that they can be sent SMS messages. The **North American Numbering Plan (NANP)** is a telephone numbering system used by many countries in North America like the United States, Canada or Bermuda. All NANP-countries share the same international country code: `1`. NANP numbers are ten-digit numbers consisting of a three-digit Numbering Plan Area code, commonly known as *area code*, followed by a seven-digit local number. The first three digits of the local number represent the *exchange code*, followed by the unique four-digit number which is the *subscriber number*. The format is usually represented as ``` (NXX)-NXX-XXXX ``` where `N` is any digit from 2 through 9 and `X` is any digit from 0 through 9. Your task is to clean up differently formated telephone numbers by removing punctuation and the country code (1) if present. For example, the inputs - `+1 (613)-995-0253` - `613-995-0253` - `1 613 995 0253` - `613.995.0253` should all produce the output `6139950253` **Note:** As this exercise only deals with telephone numbers used in NANP-countries, only 1 is considered a valid country code. ## Running tests In order to run the tests, issue the following command from the exercise directory: For running the tests provided, `rebar3` is used as it is the official build and dependency management tool for erlang now. Please refer to [the tracks installation instructions](http://exercism.io/languages/erlang/installation) on how to do that. In order to run the tests, you can issue the following command from the exercise directory. ```bash $ rebar3 eunit ``` ### Test versioning Each problem defines a macro `TEST_VERSION` in the test file and verifies that the solution defines and exports a function `test_version` returning that same value. To make tests pass, add the following to your solution: ```erlang -export([test_version/0]). test_version() -> 1. ``` The benefit of this is that reviewers can see against which test version an iteration was written if, for example, a previously posted solution does not solve the current problem or passes current tests. ## Questions? For detailed information about the Erlang track, please refer to the [help page](http://exercism.io/languages/erlang) on the Exercism site.
