Disclaimer: Phony works with international numbers only, such as 61 412 345 678!
The (admittedly crazy) goal of this Gem is to be able to normalize/format/split all phone numbers in the world.
Used in: airbnb.com, socialcam.com, zendesk.com (and many, many others).
According to memory_profiler, the Phony gem uses roughly 1MB of memory per Ruby process.
Usage was generated using (look for Total retained): ruby -e 'require "memory_profiler"; MemoryProfiler.report(allow_files: "phony"){ require "phony" }.pretty_print'
This gem normalizes, formats and splits E164 phone numbers. A valid E164 phone number must include a country code.
E164 numbers are international numbers with a country dial prefix, usually an area code and a subscriber number. For example, the Australian number +61 412 345 678 can be broken down into the following components:
- Country Code (CC): a country code of
61 - National Destination Code (NDC): a mobile number denoted by the
4(specific to Australia) - Local Number Part: a subscriber number of
12 345 678
It currently handles the countries listed at the end of this README.
It is covered by roughly 2,250 tests that run in 2 seconds (April 2019).
If it doesn’t work, please enter an issue or better, fork and send a pull request.

Phony uses qed as docs and to run its functional tests. Start here for usage docs: Usage index.
Normalize intelligently removes all non-numeric characters of a number. Do it before storing a number in a DB.
Phony.normalize('1-888-407-4747').assert == '18884074747'
Format formats a normalized number according to a country’s predominant formatting. Lots of options for int’l, national, local formatting.
Phony.format('41443643532').assert == '+41 44 364 35 32'
Is a number plausible?
Phony.assert.plausible?('+41 44 111 22 33')
Split a number into its parts: CC, NDC, local.
Phony.split('3928061371').assert == ['39', '2', '806', '1371']
NB If a country does not have an NDC, #split will return false in the NDC position, for example for Denmark:
Phony.split('4512121212').assert == ['45', false, '12', '12', '12', '12']
