If they replaced the country code with a flag, that would be an improvement. If they replaced the carrier number with the logo of the company that's also not bad. These are UI changes and the one you proposed about the phone numbers are great :)

If I were to propose a change, it would be 1-to-1. What happened in Chrome 69 isn't one to one. It's a surjection, which broke lots of URLs. That's the difference between a great UI change and an inconsiderate, idiotic one.
