Example of usage of this library
Main object of this library is PhoneNumber object. We can create this object from a string that contains phone number using the parse function. We have to provide the country code along with phone number
import phonenumbers
from phonenumbers import carrier
from phonenumbers import timezone
x = phonenumbers.parse("+442083661177", None)
print(x)
Country Code: 44 National Number: 2083661177
type(x)
<class 'phonenumbers.phonenumber.PhoneNumber'>
y = phonenumbers.parse("020 8366 1177", "GB")
print(y)
Country Code: 44 National Number: 2083661177 Leading Zero: False
You might want to get some information about the location that corresponds to a phone number. The geocoder.area_description_for_number does this, when possible.
>>> from phonenumbers import geocoder
>>> ch_number = phonenumbers.parse("0431234567", "CH")
>>> geocoder.description_for_number(ch_number, "de")
'Zürich'
>>> geocoder.description_for_number(ch_number, "en")
'Zurich'
>>> geocoder.description_for_number(ch_number, "fr")
'Zurich'
>>> geocoder.description_for_number(ch_number, "it")
'Zurigo'
For mobile numbers in some countries, you can also find out information about which carrier originally owned a phone number.
from phonenumbers import carrier
ro_number = phonenumbers.parse("+40721234567", "RO")
carrier.name_for_number(ro_number, "en")
‘Vodafone’
