Hi,

you can use the Phone number field - it does that out of the box:

If there is a reason you con't do that then you can just grab any of the RegEx floating around:

You would still need to add any custom prefix checking logic.

Hi,

phone number format varies based on country.

is this for for field or variable?

what format you require? you can simply use RegEx to validate the phone number

Hi @Mounika M,

The format of area code and phone number is different between countries. Would require an explicit format of area code and phone number. So, I'd suggest you store all possible area codes in an array and use it to validate all the phone numbers. See the script below. You can use it, it's tested. Or, you can use a regex as well.

var phoneNumber = "+818884869885";
var areaCodes = ["+91","91","1","+1"];  // add explicit area code/country code to this array
var isValid = false;
areaCodes.forEach(function(x){ if(phoneNumber.startsWith(x)) return isValid =true;});
gs.info("isValid: "+isValid);
