Removing country code

I cannot complete iPad FaceTime calls because the UK country code attaches to all phone numbers in my contact and prevents the use of iPad FaceTime

iPad, iPadOS 16

FaceTime calls are not to a phone number, but to an Apple ID account. If you aren’t sure that the recipient is an Apple (iPhone/iPad/Mac) user, then FaceTime connecting may fail for that reason. In reverse, users without Apple device can contact you using FaceTime with the browser interface (from a given FaceTime link).
