I'm trying to put together a comprehensive regex to validate phone numbers. Ideally it would handle international formats, but it must handle US formats, including the following: 1-234-567-8901 1-234-567-8901 x1234 1-234-567-8901 ext1234 1 (234) 567-8901 1.234.567.8901 1/234/567/8901 12345678901 I'll answer with my current attempt, b...

What is the best way for converting phone numbers into international format (E.164) using Java? Given a 'phone number' and a country id (let's say an ISO country code), I would like to convert it into a standard E.164 international format phone number. I am sure I can do it by hand quite easily - but I would not be sure it would work c...

Because I have no control over my source data, I need to parse out these numbers myself and format them before adding them to my DB. I'm about to write a parser that can read ...

With the age of text messages and things like that, what's a good way to store phone numbers in a database? In the USA, text messages are handled by phone numbers but in other countries I hear they use email addresses so I guess there needs to be a way to differentiate between countries that use cell phone numbers as their address. A...

In my C# application, I use a regular expression to validate the basic format of a US phone number to make sure that the user isn't just entering bogus data. Then, I strip out everything except numbers, so this: (123) 456-7890 x1234 becomes 12345678901234 in the database. In various parts of my application, however, I would l...

Hi, I want to mark up a phone number as callable link in an HTML document. I have read the microformats approach, and I know, that the tel: scheme would be standard, but is quite literally nowhere implemented. Skype defines, as far as I know, skype: and callto:, the latter having gained some popularity. I assume, that other companies h...
Hi, First of all i don't really know much, if anything, about mobile/cell phone programming, i was just wondering about this. Is it possible for an ASP.net mobile page to retrieve a phone number using WAP? The obvious use would be authenticating users by phone number. If it is possible, i am guessing it would be pretty insecure. Is thi...

I'm thinking about adding some validation/filtering to the phone number field of my Zend Framework application. Not sure if this is something I should do or not.
