  • That doesn't work on my phone. It automatically formats them back to the (000) 000 - 0000 format. Huawei Mate 9 - MHA-L29

  • Solution to "INVALID RECIPIENT". This problem is more with Chinese phones
    Chinese are DUMBs, they are good at copying thins and not use their Brain.
    All you have to do is add country code to the cell no. in each of your contact, That is it. Problem Solved.
