Before diviing into the hassle of creating this post, I had one big concern dealing with tons of telephone data (numbers), I had to filter these based on Cameroonian network operators (MTN, ORANGE, CAMTEL & NEXTTEL). While this was an easy thing to do with the `'LIKE'` functionality of mysql. However, I didn't like my solution as shown below.

```php
// scope for network operators
public function scopeNetworkOperator($query, string $operator = null)
    {
        switch ($operator) {
            case "mtn":
                return $query->where('phone', 'like', '67%')
                    ->orWhere('phone', 'like', '650%')
