That's too short to be a valid canonical number starting with +.  US
canonical numbers are +1xxxyyyzzzz.  The intention is that the canonical
number be a location independent, world unique, number.  The + is
a convention for representing the international access code.  Note that
US phone numbers use 1 as the code to indicate a national number, but
1 is also the international code for the USA.  This is not generally true -
the national code in the UK is 0, but the international code is 44, so
my office number is +44181401...., in canonical form and 0181401...., in
national form.

This is not the purpose of dialrules.
