Widget initial (country code US does not initialize as United States) | phone number | Django forms
I believe this is because of this line in PhonePrefixSelect. That would create a option with the value="+1" but for multiple countries; American Samoa gets selected because it has the same value +1 as the United States, but comes earlier in the list of country options because of alphabetical sorting. I believe the core issue is that an E164 formatted number does not uniquely identify the country because certain phone country codes map to multiple countries.
One quick fix could be to just display the country code, i.e. replace the entire country_code in values: a loop with choices.append((prefix, prefix)). You'll get a dropdown with values like ------ (empty string), +1, +20,+211, etc. ..just country codes, no country name.
I feel if it is really needed to store country values, a better solution might be to persist data in a format that saves country code, like saving it as US1234567890 instead of +11234567890. However, this might not be a trivial change.
