Validating EURO phone numbers

[jdriesen]

Hi sir,

Can you please tell me how I can validate a European phone number ?
(in other words... can you please add a regular expression for this, like you did for euro_date ?)

Some test data (for Belgium)
+32 ppp xx xx xx (mobile number in Belgium, always 3 digits for the provider)
+32 a xxx xx xx ( land number with one digit for the area)
+32 aa xx xx xx ( land number, with 2 digits for the area)

this algorithm covers almost all possibilities in Europe

Thanks in advance for your reply,
Kind regards,
Johnny Driesen

Can you submit a PR yourself?
You simply have to look at the validation-rule.js file and just add a switch case. That would be great if you could.

OK.... Will give it a try this weekend, and will keep you posted.
Grtz,
Johnny

I will push a new revision soon for a small fix, then I started looking at the Regex you provided. This seems like a Regex for internal phone number, not really specific to Europe and it seems very loose since it's only checking for last numbers to be between 6 and 14.

I could maybe add this as phone_international, but is it really what you want, is it strong enough?

Since I add to push a new revision for another fix, I added as well the Regular Expression pattern that is mentioned in your article to create the new phone_international validation. It is now part of the latest version 1.5.4, be sure to update the package.

On another note, you wanted to know how to add a regex. You can use Regex directly with Angular-Validation see this Wiki - Regular Expression Pattern
