Regular expression for validating a mobile number

Question

I am using regular expressions to validate mobile numbers in Javascript.

My conditions are:

The mobile number may start with +60 or +63 or +62 or +66 or 0
The mobile number have a length between 9 to 13

I have tried with the code:

^(?:\+60|+63|+62|+66|0)[. ()-]*(?:\d[. ()-]*){10,11,12,13}$/;

But I didn't get it.

The example mobile numbers are

+601126314441
01126342542
+631124445675
+661124445675
+621124445675
+60111243236
+62105273214
0105273214

Can you post an example of a number that should be matched, but isn't ? Or an example of a number that isn't matched, but should be? — Guntram Blohm, Dec 30 '13 at 08:57
@PravinKumar only this conditions? or something else like brackets? — Grundy, Dec 30 '13 at 09:01
@Grundy Sry..Thanks i got it... It was my mistake.. I put there 8 insted of 9.. — Pravin Kumar, Dec 30 '13 at 09:09
@Deryck Sure.. but my length includes whole mobile number length including the prefix as +60,0,+66 like that — Pravin Kumar, Dec 30 '13 at 09:29

Update your RegEx like so:

/^(\+60|\+63|\+62|\+66|0)\d{9,13}$/gm

Verify at www.jsregex.com (don't forget to check the global and multiline options)

Fiddle Example :)

Javascript:

var reg = /(\+60|\+63|\+62|\+66|0)\d{9,13}/m;
var numbers = ['+601126314441', '01126342542', '+631124445675', '+661124445675', '+621124445675', '+60111243236', '+62105273214', '0105273214'];
var matched = [];
for (var i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
    if (reg.test(numbers[i])) matched.push(numbers[i]);
}
console.log(matched.toString());

With this regexp, the matched number will have between 11 and 15 numbers in it if it begins with +6[0236] and between 10 and 14 numbers if it begins with 0. You should modify the \d{9,13} part. – Valentin Dec 30 '13 at 09:12
@Valentin possibly code length not included for mobile length – Grundy Dec 30 '13 at 09:15
@Grundy Requirements aren't clear enough to be sure, that's true :) – Valentin Dec 30 '13 at 09:16
Yeah I just went by what his original number was I'm sure he can tweak it to figure the correct numbers. Unfortunately I know nothing about these phone number assignments haha – Deryck Dec 30 '13 at 09:27

var testCases = [
    '+601126314441',
    '01126342542',
    '+631124445675',
    '+661124445675',

    '+62105273214',
    '0105273214'
]

function testMobNum (nstr) {
    return /^((\+{1}(60|62|63|66){1})|(0)){1}\d{9,13}$/.test(nstr);
}

testCases.map(testMobNum);
//returns [true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true]

You can use regexp from this example -

$a = array(
'+601126314441',
'01126342542',
'+631124445675',
'+6611244-45675',
'+621124445675',
'+60111243236',
'+62105273214',
'01052-73214',
);

foreach($a as &$phone) {
    echo $phone . ' -> ';
    if (preg_match('/^(?:\+60|\+63|\+62|\+66|0)[0-9-]{9,13}$/', $phone)) {
        echo 'PASS';
    } else {
        echo 'FAIL';
    }
    echo PHP_EOL;
}

In php this will outputs following:

+601126314441 -> PASS
01126342542 -> PASS
+631124445675 -> PASS
+6611244-45675 -> PASS
+621124445675 -> PASS
+60111243236 -> PASS
+62105273214 -> PASS
01052-73214 -> PASS

if code length include to full mobile number you can try

/^(\+6[0236]\d{7,11})|(0\d{8,12})$/

if + also include in number length then

/^(\+6[0236]\d{6,10})|(0\d{8,12})$/

else try

/^(\+6[0236]|0)\d{9,13}$/

Hmm interesting :)

Java Script Code:

// your regex pattern to check mobile number
var mobRegex = /^(\+60|\+63|\+62|\+66|0)\d{9,13}$/;
// empty array
var validMobile = [];
// some sample numbers to check
var mobileCollection = [
    '+60123456789',
