This Package has moved to here for laravel 5.5+. Please use that instead. Also check out these other community validation rules
This package only checks phone number formatting and not actual number validity.
Install via composer - In the terminal:
composer require tylercd100/laravel-validator-phone
Now add the following to the providers
array in your config/app.php
Tylercd100\Validator\Phone\ServiceProvider::class
// Test any phone number
Validator::make(['test' => '15556667777'], ['test' => 'phone']); //true
Validator::make(['test' => '+15556667777'], ['test' => 'phone']); //true
Validator::make(['test' => '+1 (555) 666-7777'], ['test' => 'phone']); //true
// Test for E164
Validator::make(['test' => '+15556667777'], ['test' => 'phone:E164']); //true
// Test for NANP (North American Numbering Plan)
Validator::make(['test' => '+1 (555) 666-7777'], ['test' => 'phone:NANP']); //true
// Test for digits only
Validator::make(['test' => '15556667777'], ['test' => 'phone:digits']); //true
