Add prefix in customer mobile number: Prefix is really important to have. If the mobile number is missing a prefix, the module will detect the country and add the appropriate prefix.

In case the country prefix is also missing, then the prefix that admin has set in “prefix” field is taken/considered.

Besides, admin can also add prefix on buyer’s number as well.
