**Content:**

Would you like to set a default flag on the **Smart Phone** field when GDPR is enabled? When using the **Smart Phone** form field, the default country flag will attempt to be set based on the user’s IP address. When the GDPR setting is enabled, this setting is blocked and therefore the flag would need to be set manually by your visitors.

Using a small JavaScript code snippet you can set the flag to a default country by a number so you’re not in violation of your GDPR agreement but saving the user a step at the same time. We’ll show you how to achieve this with this tutorial.

## Setting up the form

First, for the purpose of this tutorial, we’ll presume you have already enabled the WPForms GDPR setting. If you need further assistance with this, [please review this documentation](https://wpforms.com/docs/a-complete-guide-to-wpforms-settings/ "A Complete Guide to WPForms Settings").

Once the setting for GDPR is enabled, it’s time to add a **Smart Phone** to your form.
