That’s easy enough to verify. The more interesting question is why a form refuses to accept your number despite having selected the correct country. Usually, this happens because the form is asking for a different part of the number than you’ve entered, or has its own rules about punctuation and spacing.
If the form already has +351 in it,
the odds are that the input field will be expecting digits beyond the country code, or the selection box actually wants the national number rather than international format. If you’re uncertain whether the field wants the full number, never add the country code twice. The number formatting example next to the field often gives the most reliable clues about what a given field wants.
Does this mean I should remove my spaces?
Only if the form asks for digits with no separators. Otherwise, consider that the field may be asking for something different, or simply that the format wants numbers with spaces but without brackets or other punctuation. The safest thing if you get a formatting error is to compare your number against the example in the field, rather than making changes to your number before attempting to submit.
Could I test a shared inbox number?
It could show you a limited preview of what to expect with a given number, but only if the service allows temporary numbers. It cannot promise that another number, carrier, or service won’t behave differently.
Choose the country of Portugal and check what fax number country code is displayed.
Open your shared inbox and see the public inbox limit.
Use a placeholder text message for a test if available, wait a moment, then try again.

Public shared inbox numbers are shared inboxes. Other people can read them, and shouldn’t be used for private, personal or confidential information.
If the same test is repeated, keep the sender, message, and waiting period consistent. Changing all three at once makes the result difficult to interpret and encourages readers to blame the country code for a problem elsewhere in the route.
