Uk Phone Number Validation
This library allows for phone number validation based on the Ofcom National Telephone Numbering Plan.
Useful data can be obtained from a phone number such as locality, mobile provider etc.
Phone numbers are of variable length. Local numbers are supported from land-lines or numbers can be dialled with a '0'-lead prefix that denotes either a geographical region or another service. Mobile phone numbers have their own prefixes which are not geographical and are completely portable between providers.
Example usage
The main object that the library deals with is a PhoneNumber object. You can create this from a string representing a phone number
The PhoneNumber object that is produces typically still needs to be validated.
