• The service will now only limit the search based on input of + codes, country codes, or defaultCallingCodes
• + codes take priority over country codes, which take priority over defaultCallingCodes. This means that if one exists, the service will focus the search in that specified area and ignore the other parameters
• For example, an input of +861234567890 would only search in China (+86) even if ctry was set to ‘US’.
