Phone Number Formatter Guide

This comprehensive tool formats, validates, and converts phone numbers between international standards with intelligent country detection and formatting rules. It supports 195+ countries and handles various input formats, extensions, and output requirements.

Core Features

📞 Input Modes

Single Number Processing

Process one phone number at a time with real-time formatting and validation.

Bulk Processing

Process multiple phone numbers simultaneously with advanced filtering and export options.

Country Support

The tool includes comprehensive data for 195+ countries with:

  • Accurate calling codes (e.g., +1 for US/CA, +44 for UK, +91 for India)
  • National number lengths validation
  • Country-specific formatting patterns
  • Trunk prefixes (e.g., 0 for many European countries)
  • Example numbers for reference

Examples:

  • United States: +1 415 555 2671 (calling code: 1, 10 digits)
  • United Kingdom: +44 20 7946 0958 (calling code: 44, 10-11 digits)
  • India: +91 98765 43210 (calling code: 91, 10 digits)
  • Germany: +49 30 1234 5678 (calling code: 49, trunk: 0)
  • Japan: +81 3 1234 5678 (calling code: 81, trunk: 0)

Auto-Detection

Automatic country detection from international calling codes:

  • Recognizes +1, +44, +91, +49, +33, etc.
  • Falls back to selected country if no +code present
  • Handles ambiguous codes (e.g., +1 for US/Canada)

Examples:

Input: +1 415 555 2671 → Detects: United States
Input: +44 20 7946 0958 → Detects: United Kingdom
Input: +91 98765 43210 → Detects: India

Usage Tips

Best Practices

  • For international databases: Use E.164 format (+countrycode + national number)
  • For user display: Use International format (+country code + formatted national)
  • For local contact lists: Use National format (local conventions)
  • For web links: Use RFC3966 format (tel:+... scheme)
  • Enable auto-detection when processing mixed international numbers
  • Use bulk mode for processing contact lists or databases

Troubleshooting

  • Number not recognized? Check if the country is selected correctly
  • Wrong format? Verify the output format selection (E.164 vs International vs National)
  • Extension not appearing? Ensure "Include extension" is checked
  • Invalid numbers? Some countries have variable lengths (UK: 10-11 digits)

Technical Notes

  • All formatting is done client-side in the browser
  • No data is sent to external servers
  • Settings are stored locally in browser storage
  • Works offline once loaded
  • Compatible with all modern browsers

For mission-critical phone number validation, consider using official libraries like Google's libphonenumber on the server side.
