just discussed this in further detail and evaluated what ios and android does
- ios only allows *#+ and Wait (",") and Pause (";") to be stored with numbers
- android allows any kind of formatting with pretty much all characters () space, -, etc..

Our model is more like ios. We should modify the keyboard layout to have a different set of extended keys: "*#,;"
When this is functional it will not be necessary to store the phone numbers formatted in the database, that should be a UI thing only, but that will be done in a separate bug.
