+# Phone Number
+
+Clean up user-entered phone numbers so that they can be sent SMS messages.
+
+The **North American Numbering Plan (NANP)** is a telephone numbering system used by many countries in North America like the United States, Canada or Bermuda. All NANP-countries share the same international country code: `1`.
+
+NANP numbers are ten-digit numbers consisting of a three-digit Numbering Plan Area code, commonly known as *area code*, followed by a seven-digit local number. The first three digits of the local number represent the *exchange code*, followed by the unique four-digit number which is the *subscriber number*.
+
+The format is usually represented as
+
+```text
+(NXX)-NXX-XXXX
+```
+
+where `N` is any digit from 2 through 9 and `X` is any digit from 0 through 9.
+
+Your task is to clean up differently formatted telephone numbers by removing punctuation and the country code (1) if present.
+
+For example, the inputs
+- `+1 (613)-995-0253`
+- `613-995-0253`
+- `1 613 995 0253`
+- `613.995.0253`
+
+should all produce the output
+
+`6139950253`
+
+**Note:** As this exercise only deals with telephone numbers used in NANP-countries, only 1 is considered a valid country code.
+
+## Running tests
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ elixir phone_number_test.exs
+```
+
+### Pending tests
+
+In the test suites, all but the first test have been skipped.

+# @tag :pending
+test "shouting" do
+  assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
+end

+Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the
+`ExUnit.configure` line in the test suite.
