Phone numbers that are always right.
Validate, standardize, and preview every phone number your team enters — with visible feedback, configurable formatting, and full support for extensions.
The problem
Contacts pile up with phone numbers typed a dozen different ways — some with country codes, some without, some with dashes or parentheses. Inconsistent data breaks SMS and VoIP integrations, hides duplicate contacts, and gets rejected by external exports. Worse, the one existing tool for this silently skips numbers it cannot parse, leaving bad data in place with no warning.
The solution
Reformat Phone Numbers validates every number against real country rules, standardizes it to the format your company chooses, and shows a live preview and clear error message right on the form. An admin-level toggle lets you enforce a canonical style or preserve each user's own formatting — and phone extensions are kept intact.
Everything you need to keep phone data clean
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Country-Specific Validation
Every number is checked against real numbering rules for its country, catching malformed or impossible numbers before they reach your database.
Live Formatting Preview
As a number is typed, a debounced preview shows exactly what will be saved, so users see the result instead of guessing at it.
Default-Country Detection
Numbers entered without a country code fall back to the contact's own country, then your company's configured default country.
Standardized International Storage
Choose E.164, International, National, or RFC 3966 as your canonical storage format so SMS, VoIP, and export integrations always get a number they can use.
Inline Validation Errors
Invalid numbers show a clear, visible message right at the field — closing the silent-skip gap that leaves bad data unnoticed.
Configurable Separator Style
Pick spaces, dashes, no separators, or the library default for International and National formats, matching your own house style.
Standardize or Preserve
A single company setting lets you either enforce one canonical format everywhere or simply validate numbers and leave the user's own formatting untouched.
Formatted-Result Preview Wizard
A standalone Phone Formatter wizard lets anyone test a number, see the formatted result and validation message, and apply it to a contact with one click.
Phone Extension Support
Extension digits are recognized, preserved, and re-attached to the formatted number instead of being dropped or rejected.
How it works
Configure Your Format
Set the storage style, separator, standardize-or-preserve mode, invalid-number policy, and default country from Settings.
Enter a Phone Number
Type or import a number on any contact — local, international, with or without an extension.
Review the Preview
A live preview and validity badge show exactly what will be saved before you commit the record.
Save With Confidence
The number is standardized (or preserved, per your setting) and stored consistently for every downstream integration.
