Reviews
what people actually sayCountry & Phone Field for Contact Form 7 is a niche plugin with a mixed reputation — appreciated for ease of use when it works, but undermined by persistent functional bugs around phone data not being passed to emails, broken validation, and compatibility concerns with newer WordPress versions.
What people like
- +Easy to use and works as intended for basic country/phone field needs×5
- +Developer is responsive and has fixed issues when contacted
Common complaints
- −Country/ISD dial code is not included in the email submission — only the number is sent, making the country code field cosmetic only×2
- −Phone number length/limit validation does not work — users can enter any number of digits×2
- −Number-only validation does not work — letters can still be entered in the phone field
- −Auto dial code selection by IP causes the phone field to go blank
- −Dropdown does not open/fold correctly, with reported incompatibility with newer WordPress versions×2
- −Undismissable admin notice advertising an unrelated SEO product was injected across all admin pages, though it was eventually removed after user complaints×2
