Sweden Phone Number Regular Expression

Hello I am using following regular expression for validating Sweden number

^(([+]46)((70[{0-9}])|(72[{0-9})])|(73[{0-9}])|(76[{0-9}]))([\d]{6}))$

I want my number to be in following format +46 70 5689 123 or +46705689123

Please help me in doing this.

I'll write this since the topic says "swedish phone number" and not "swedish mobile phone number". Despite it might not be exactly what the QS asked for.

Swedish land line numbers may have any number after the prefix, a lot of different whitspace setups depending on the length of the numbers and sometimes they are also written with hyphens.

Length 0+9 numbers
08-xxx xxx xx
0xx-xxx xx xx
0xxx-xx xx xx

Length 0+8 numbers
08-xxx xx xx
0xx-xx xx xx
0xxx-xxx xx

Length 0+7 numbers
08-xx xx xx
0xx-xxx xx

Length 0+9 numbers (Mobile)
07x-xxx xx xx

The prefix +46 or 00 could also be applied to those numbers. Also adding the notation the QS is asking for:

+46 70 5689 123
+46705689123
+46 85 68 91 23

This makes keeping track of all those whitespaces quite bothersome when writing a regexp. Thats why my suggestion would be to trim/remove all the spaces and/or hyphens and then run this regexp instead:

^(([+]46)|(0)|(00))(\d{7,9})$

In my opinion you will be better off by standardizing how you enter numbers in your database and not adding unneccesary whitespaces to avoid polluting the data anyways.

I use something like this. Can probably be done neater, but it can handle that:

  • Numbers can start with either +46 or 07 or 01.
  • Might include a - like 0736-XXXXXX or 070-XXXXXXX
  • White spaces can also occur anywhere (at least in my case, since we haven't really streamlined the inputs in the past).

^((([+]46)\s*((1|7)[0236]))|(0(1|7)[0236]))\s*(([-]|())\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*|([0-9]\s*([-]|()))\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*[0-9]\s*)$

/^07(0|2|3|6|9)\d{7}$/g

this will work for the local number starts with following initials: 070, 072, 073, 076, 079 Mobile phone networks example: 076xxxxxxx x will be the numeric

^((((0{2}?)|(\+){1})46)|0)7[\d]{8}

will work with 0046 708 777 666

try it out

For the sake of having a complete answer I'll add in to this thread. Manoj, you wrote in the comment that you also want to allow numbers starting with 0 which the answer from Stephan (albeit great) doesn't cover.

You want to use 

^(([+]46)\s*(7)|07)[02369]\s*(\d{4})\s*(\d{3})$

To allow:

  • +46 7
  • +467
  • 07

Followed by 0/2/3/6/9, (a possible space), 4 digits, (a possible space), 3 digits

The spaces (\s*) are missing in the regex:

^([+]46)\s*(7[0236])\s*(\d{4})\s*(\d{3})$

I have replaced the parts like this one 70[{0-9}] with something more readable: 7[0236].

Why so many brackets?

^\+46 *7[0236] *\d{4} *\d{3}$

should do it.
