You can achieve this using workflow too. Advantage over trigger is that you dont have to need a coder/developer in case you need to do minor changes. Also you need not write test class to migrate it to production.

Here is what you need to do in a workflow:
  • Create a workflow rule on Contact object
  • Set the Evaluation Criteria to Evaluate the rule when a record is created, and every time it’s edited
  • Set the rule criteria to:
AND (
 OR (
  NOT( ISPICKVAL(leadtherace__CountryISDCode__c, '')),
  ISCHANGED(leadtherace__CountryISDCode__c)
 ),
 NOT( ISBLANK (MobilePhone) )
)
  • ​Now add a Field Update on Mobile field
  • The formula would look like:
  • IF( BEGINS( MobilePhone, '+'),
     IF( ISPICKVAL (CountryISDCode__c, 'singapore'), 
      ('+65' & ( RIGHT (MobilePhone, LEN (MobilePhone)-3))),
      IF( ISPICKVAL (CountryISDCode__c, 'india'), 
       ('+91' & ( RIGHT (MobilePhone, LEN (MobilePhone)-3))),
       IF( ISPICKVAL (CountryISDCode__c, 'us'), 
        ('+01' & ( RIGHT (MobilePhone, LEN (MobilePhone)-3))),
        MobilePhone
       )
      )
     ),
     IF( ISPICKVAL (CountryISDCode__c, 'singapore'), 
      ('+65' & MobilePhone),
      IF( ISPICKVAL (CountryISDCode__c, 'india'), 
       ('+91' & MobilePhone),
       IF( ISPICKVAL (CountryISDCode__c, 'us'), 
        ('+01' & MobilePhone),
        MobilePhone
       )
      )
     )  
    )
I have tested this. It works fine. Please let me know if you need clarification on anything I have mentioned. If you want trigger, please do the similar logic in the trigger code.
