US Phone Number Verification

Question

I have a website form that requires a US phone number input for follow up purposes, and this is very necessary in this case. I want try to eliminate users entering junk data

Answer 1

For US and International Phone validation I found this code the most suitable:

((\+[1-9]{1,4}[ \-]*)|(\([0-9]{2,3}\)[ \-]*)|([0-9]{2,4})[ \-]*)*?[0-9]{3,4}?[ \-]*[0-9]{3,4}?$

You can find an (albeit somewhat dated) discussion here.
