How it works

A candidate begins with +, then a non-zero digit, and contains at most 15 digits in total. Matching is bounded by neighbouring digits; optional normalization removes only the plus sign rather than guessing a national country code.

  • National formats are excluded by default because their meaning depends on country context.

Worked example

Find two international numbers in support text
Keep plus-prefixed E.164-style candidates and omit national formats
Input
											Call +14155552671 or +442071838750; the local extension is 123.
Output
												Phones: +14155552671, +442071838750
Count: 2
Unique: +14155552671, +442071838750
Normalized: 14155552671, 442071838750

When to use this

CRM-note migrations, support-ticket callback reviews, and international contact exports scan for plus-prefixed candidates.

Edge cases

  • 020 7183 8750 is omitted because no country context supplies an international calling code.
  • The x123 portion of +14155552671 x123 is not part of the E.164 candidate.
  • A matching 15-digit string is only syntactically plausible; assignment and reachability are not verified.
