Frequently Asked Questions
What is E.164 phone number format?
E.164 is the international standard for phone number formatting defined by the ITU. It specifies numbers up to 15 digits starting with a country code (e.g., +1 for US, +44 for UK) followed by the national number without leading zeros.
How does phone number parsing work?
Phone parsing analyzes the input number to identify country code, area code, and subscriber number. It uses country-specific rules to validate format, check digit length, and determine if it's a mobile or landline number.
Can I parse numbers without country codes?
Yes, but accuracy depends on context. For numbers without country codes, you may need to specify the default country. The parser will apply that country's formatting rules and validation standards.
What information can I extract from phone numbers?
Phone parsing can extract country code, country name, area code, subscriber number, number type (mobile/landline), carrier information (in some cases), and provide multiple formatted versions of the number.
How accurate is phone number validation?
Validation accuracy depends on the completeness of country-specific rules and the input format. Our parser uses comprehensive databases of numbering plans and is regularly updated to maintain high accuracy across all supported countries.
Understanding Phone Number Formats
Phone numbers have different formats depending on the context and standards used. Understanding these formats is crucial for proper parsing and international communication.
Common Format Types:
Country Code Examples:
| Country | Code | Format | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | +1 | +1 XXX XXX XXXX | +1 555 123 4567 |
| United Kingdom | +44 | +44 XXXX XXXXXX | +44 20 7946 0958 |
| Germany | +49 | +49 XXX XXXXXXX | +49 30 12345678 |
| Japan | +81 | +81 XX XXXX XXXX | +81 90 1234 5678 |
| Australia | +61 | +61 X XXXX XXXX | +61 4 1234 5678 |
