phone-number

I am supplying the following regex : ^((?:\+27|27)|0)(\d{9})$ for number of South Africa and want to only return true for numbers that start with +27 or 27 or 0. eg; +27832227765, 27838776654 or 0612323434.

Here's my code: function validatePhone(){ var error = 1; var hasError = false;

I am trying to create a simple calculator which provides the EditText for the users to input the numbers. The allowing input content should be [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,.] I know that it is possible to limit the input content by using following code android:digits="1234567890." android:inputType="phone" But how can I prevent the users from adding more than one dot ( . ) into the EditText Box? You can use this digits attribute android:digits="0123456789" You can use InputFilter limit characters in an EditText as: EditText mEdit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.mEdit); InputFilter[] filters = {new

Possible Duplicate: A comprehensive regex for phone number validation What regular expression will match valid international phone numbers? I've seen some posts on StackOverflow on regular expressions that match phone numbers. But many don't seem to take into account possible spaces or dashed between numbers to increase readability. I'm from the Netherlands, but I'd like to use a regex which matches any phone number, including those in foreign countries.

This a similar question to this old one that never got answered: Wrap <a> tag around phone number using jquery I am making a simple jQuery mobile site out of an existing site that uses a custom CMS. In the CMS there are entries that contain code and text like <div id="departments"> <ul> <li> Department 1 - (555) 123-1234</li> <li> Department 2 - (555) 123-4321</li> <li> Department 3 - (555) 123-6789</li> </ul> </div> I know that most mobile phone browsers will automatically convert the phone numbers to clickable links that launch the dialer with the phone number ready to go.
