1. 00:00Intro

   Here is how to check a phone number, and get the format your systems should store. This free validator checks whether a phone number fits its country numbering plan. There is no signup, and you get 20 validations a day. Enter a number with its country code. This one is made up, but it follows the US pattern.

2. 00:19Valid result

   Valid number pattern. The length and the pattern are both possible for this country. Store this one. E.164 is a plus sign and digits, with no punctuation. It's the form telephony APIs expect. You also get the international and national formats, the country, and the calling code. The number type comes from the numbering plan. Use it to avoid obvious mistakes, not as a hard gate.

3. 00:43What it can't prove

   Here is the limit. It reads the digits. It doesn't call the number, contact a carrier, or prove the line is reachable. That's why a made-up number can pass. Now drop the last four digits.

4. 00:54Invalid result

   Invalid number pattern. It's too short for this numbering plan, so the number type is unknown. Store the E.164 form, and one number stops appearing three times in your CRM.
