Here is a regex for the following most common phone number scenarios  Although this is tailored from a US perspective for area codes it works for international scenarios    The actual number should be 10 digits only    For US numbers area code may be surrounded with parentheses       The country code can be 1 to 3 digits long  Optionally may be preceded by a   sign    There may be dashes  spaces  dots or no spaces between country code  area code and the rest of the number    A valid phone number cannot be all zeros         b 0  1  b      d 1 3    -        d 3        -    d 3  3 d 4      Explanation           - start of expression           b 0  1  b  -     Negative Look ahead   b - word boundary around a  0  character   1 backtrack to previous capturing group  zero   Basically don t match all zeros             d 1 3    -     -       plus sign before country code is optional  d 1 3  - country code can be 1 to 3 digits long      -    - spaces dots and dashes are optional  The last question mark is to make country code optional            d 3     -       is to make parentheses optional   d 3  - match 3 digit area code            -    - optional space  dash or dot       - end of expression   More examples and explanation - https   regex101 com r hTH8Ct 2

All country codes are defined by the ITU  The following regex is based on ITU-T E 164 and Annex to ITU Operational Bulletin No  930     15 IV 2009  It contains all current country codes and codes reserved for future use  While it could be shortened a bit  I decided to include each code independently   This is for calls originating from the USA  For other countries  replace the international access code  the 011 at the beginning of the regex  with whatever is appropriate for that country s dialing plan   Also  note that ITU E 164 defines the maximum length of a full international telephone number to 15 digits  This means a three digit country code results in up to 12 additional digits  and a 1 digit country code could contain up to 14 additional digits  Hence the   0-9  0 14     a the end of the regex   Most importantly  this regex does not mean the number is valid - each country defines its own internal numbering plan  This only ensures that the country code is valid       011 999 998 997 996 995 994 993 992 991    990 979 978 977 976 975 974 973 972 971 970    969 968 967 966 965 964 963 962 961 960 899    898 897 896 895 894 893 892 891 890 889 888    887 886 885 884 883 882 881 880 879 878 877    876 875 874 873 872 871 870 859 858 857 856    855 854 853 852 851 850 839 838 837 836 835    834 833 832 831 830 809 808 807 806 805 804    803 802 801 800 699 698 697 696 695 694 693    692 691 690 689 688 687 686 685 684 683 682    681 680 679 678 677 676 675 674 673 672 671    670 599 598 597 596 595 594 593 592 591 590    509 508 507 506 505 504 503 502 501 500 429    428 427 426 425 424 423 422 421 420 389 388    387 386 385 384 383 382 381 380 379 378 377    376 375 374 373 372 371 370 359 358 357 356    355 354 353 352 351 350 299 298 297 296 295    294 293 292 291 290 289 288 287 286 285 284    283 282 281 280 269 268 267 266 265 264 263    262 261 260 259 258 257 256 255 254 253 252    251 250 249 248 247 246 245 244 243 242 241    240 239 238 237 236 235 234 233 232 231 230    229 228 227 226 225 224 223 222 221 220 219    218 217 216 215 214 213 212 211 210 98 95 94    93 92 91 90 86 84 82 81 66 65 64 63 62 61 60    58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 49 48 47 46 45 44 43    41 40 39 36 34 33 32 31 30 27 20 7 1  0-9  0    14
