regular expression dutch telephonenumbers
Posted by info on April 16th, 2012
For the dutch telephone numbers is a list of prefixes defined (see http://statisch.detelefoongids.nl/static/nl_NL/netnummer.html)Â and the place of the – and spaces is defined in a NEN description 2132.(http://taaladvies.net/taal/advies/tekst/53/)
If you also want to check for the correct prefixes in your form validation here is a sample expression that checks this all: (this doesnt backtrack the existence of first added “(” to validate “()” pair) and uses ungreedy grouping for better performance.

How do you handle 06 numbers? they are not validated now

In 06 numbers you don’t need to check the area codes and just check it this way:
// Allowed formats: 0612345678, 06-12345678, (06) 12345678, (06)-12345678
var telephone = /^(\(?06\)?[\s\-]*)[1-9]\d{7}$/;
return telephone.test(value);
