• External Candidate Profile

1. Login in the external career site
2. Go to Profile Information
3. Check the Phone Field

• Internal Candidate Profile

1. Go to Careers
2. My Candidate Profile
3. Check the Phone Field

The standard field id="cellPhone" will have the country code area if Short Message Service (SMS) functionality is enabled (and its relevant field added to the candidate template = optInCellNumber)
To populate this special area, you must configure the standard field id="phoneCountryCode". Then when selecting the country information, the country code will be automatically populated inside the code area in the Phone field and if the field id="phoneCountryCode" is not configured, the field can't be populated manually.

Keep in mind that according to product design, the fields optInCellNumber and phoneCountryCode, must be granted the same permission (either both as read or both as write).
This will prevent the error message, but if you give "write" permission, it will be possible to edit the Send me SMS Notification option as well.

With Short Message Service (SMS) enabled, the country code area will only be populated by the country code field, therefore the field should be configured if you would like to have the functionality.

Product Management is working on improving the error message which might be a bit misleading on what the actual issue is.
