calling-string
Calling numbers that are permitted to call in, in the
format of { [ + ]
string [ $ ]| $ }. The largest length of
the string is 31. The symbols are described in the
following:
■ +: Appears at the beginning of a calling number to
indicate that the number is E.164-compliant.
■ $: As the last character to indicate the end of the
number. That means the entire calling number must
match all the characters before “$” in the string. If
there is only “$” in the string, the calling number
can be empty.
■ string: A string composed of any characters of
“0123456789ABCD#*.!+%[]()-”. The meanings of
the characters are described in the following table:

appears once. For example, 56!1234 can match 51234 and 561234.

several times. But its appearance at the beginning of the whole
number means the number is E.164-compliant.
- Hyphen. It connects two values (the smaller one before it and the
