Absolutely. And if his use case is to actually get the political country,
it's a great choice. With that said, I'm guessing that in his case the
vendor wants the + removed for all NANP numbers, so my point was to only
use libphonenumber for this if was critical to differentiate the USA
from the rest of the NANP.

It was mentioned previously, and requires libphonenumber, but the phonenum module is pretty decent for helping with NANP numbers and deciphering if one is let’s say US vs Canada vs Jamaica, etc.
