In former Linphone version there was possibility to input "sip:18323303810".
It used "host" utility (thus unix only feature) to query ENUM records. If sip
address was found, Linphone INVITEd such address.

However I think contemporary version does not support it (check it) and such
address is still ill because RFC3976 reserves "tel:" URI for this purpose.

OTOH commercial carrier solutions (like some big softswitches made by Siemens)
usually misuse the sip: URI to carry telephone numbers in way
"sip:address@hidden".
