Formatting phonenumbers with phonenumber-package and macros as argument (expand-problem)

I try to use the phonenumbers-package to format phonenumbers. As argument I want to use a macro (in the actual document the macro will be defined with pgfkeys!)

What I tried so far:

documentclassarticle

usepackage[ngerman]babel
usepackage[area-code-sep=hyphen, country=DE]phonenumbers

begindocument
deftel01601234567

noindent
phonenumber01601234567\ % Correct!
phonenumbertel\ % No Output
expandafterphonenumbertel\ % No Output
expandafterphonenumbertel\ % Unformatted
expandafterphonenumberbgrouptelegroup\ % Unformatted
expandafterphonenumberexpandafterbgrouptelegroup\ % Unformatted
enddocument

I don't understand, how I can expand my tel-macro before using it as an argument.

Thanks in advance!

expandafterphonenumberexpandaftertel

works in the example. You need the first expandafter to 'jump over' phonenumber and the second expandafter to 'jump over' the {, so that tel is expanded before phonenumber and you end up with phonenumber01601234567.

and bgroup and and egroup are not equivalent as argument delimiters. That's why expandafterphonenumberexpandafterbgrouptelegroup did not work correctly. You can see what happens when you use bgroup/egroup instead of / in

documentclassarticle
usepackage[T1]fontenc
usepackage[utf8]inputenc

deffoo#1-detokenize#1-

begindocument
fooDEF

foobgroup ABCegroup
enddocument

The first line works as expected and shows "-DEF-", but the second line throws an error about too many s and shows "-bgroup-ABC", this demonstrates that foo assumes bgroup is its argument and not the entire string ABC.
