;Bug Fixes
*Fixed an issue where Global Phone was not logging usage for Premium Verifications for Canada.
*Occasionally, premium requests made will return the result codes "PE11,PS01,PS07". PE11 indicates a disconnected phone, and PS01 indicates a valid phone. These two result codes should not be able to be returned together. This has been fixed.
*Fixed an issue where PE11 phone numbers would output incorrect results. If a record returns a result code of PE11, it should only populate the output fields that a PE01 record populates. The only populated output fields for PE01 records are RecordID, Results, PhoneNumber, and CountryAbbreviation, which is how PE11 records should now return as well.
