dialr-type {dialr}

Phone number type

Description

In addition to validity, libphonenumber can identify phone number type - it is able to distinguish Fixed-line, Mobile, Toll-free, Premium Rate, Shared Cost, VoIP, Personal Numbers, UAN, Pager, and Voicemail (whenever feasible).

get_type(x) returns the phone number type for each element of a phone vector.

Valid phone number types differ by region. get_types_for_region(x) returns a list of character vectors of valid types for each provided ISO country code. Use get_supported_types() to see a full list of supported types.

Usage

get_type(x, strict = FALSE)

get_supported_types()

get_types_for_region(x)

Arguments

x

A phone vector, or a character vector of ISO country codes.

strict

If TRUE, invalid phone numbers return NA.

Value

A character vector of phone types.

get_types_for_region() returns a list of character vectors for each provided country code.
