`clean_phone_number` will prepend 1- to any 10-digit number, in an attempt to
help fix a US number that is missing the international prefix. However, there
are valid 10-digit numbers that aren't US numbers, they are complete numbers
including prefix for their own country.
One idea to make it better would be to not do the "1-prepend" to a number if it
starts with "+" already (since that indicates a country code is included).
Another option is to not do the "1-prepend" at all, and when the service
provider comes back with an error, then we suggest to the user that they might
need to prepend "1-" if they are entering a US number.
