This gem can normalize, format and split E164 numbers.
More about E164 numbers in this Wiki.
The (admittedly crazy) goal of this Gem is to be able to format/split all phone numbers in the world.
Currently handles Afghan, Algerian, Austrian, Australian, Belgian, Brazilian, Chilean, Chinese, Croatian, Cuban, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Egyptian, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Malaysian, Mexican, (The) Netherlands, New Zealand, Norwegian, Peruvian, Polish, Russian, Romanian, Slovakian, South African, South Korean, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss, Tunisian, Turkish, Liechtenstein, UK, US, and Venezuelan numbers.
And to some extent, all others. Just try if it works for you.
If it doesn’t, please enter an issue.

Note: There is also a ! version of each of these methods which
will destroy the original string and return a new (or old) one.
Just work only with the returned value, and you will be fine.
