Class PhoneNumber (2.10.0)

An object representing a phone number, suitable as an API wire format.

This representation:

• should not be used for locale-specific formatting of a phone number, such as "+1 (650) 253-0000 ext. 123"

• is not designed for efficient storage

• may not be suitable for dialing - specialized libraries (see references) should be used to parse the number for that purpose

To do something meaningful with this number, such as format it for various use-cases, convert it to an i18n.phonenumbers.PhoneNumber object first.

For instance, in Java this would be:

com.google.type.PhoneNumber wireProto = com.google.type.PhoneNumber.newBuilder().build(); com.google.i18n.phonenumbers.Phonenumber.PhoneNumber phoneNumber = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance().parse(wireProto.getE164Number(), "ZZ"); if (!wireProto.getExtension().isEmpty()) { phoneNumber.setExtension(wireProto.getExtension()); }

Field number for the "e164_number" field.

Field number for the "extension" field.

Field number for the "short_code" field.

The phone number, represented as a leading plus sign ('+'), followed by a phone number that uses a relaxed ITU E.164 format consisting of the country calling code (1 to 3 digits) and the subscriber number, with no additional spaces or formatting, e.g.:

• correct: "+15552220123"
• incorrect: "+1 (555) 222-01234 x123".

The ITU E.164 format limits the latter to 12 digits, but in practice not all countries respect that, so we relax that restriction here. National-only numbers are not allowed.

The phone number's extension. The extension is not standardized in ITU recommendations, except for being defined as a series of numbers with a maximum length of 40 digits. Other than digits, some other dialing characters such as ',' (indicating a wait) or '#' may be stored here.

Note that no regions currently use extensions with short codes, so this field is normally only set in conjunction with an E.164 number. It is held separately from the E.164 number to allow for short code extensions in the future.

Gets whether the "e164_number" field is set

A short code.
