About

This tool normalizes and validates phone numbers according to the ITU-T E.164 standard, the format required by most telecommunications APIs (Twilio, Nexmo, AWS SNS) and CRM systems. By converting local numbers into a globally unique format, it eliminates routing errors in international communications.

E.164 numbers typically adhere to a strict length limit of 15 digits and must not contain spaces, dashes, or parentheses. The format is critical for ensuring SMS delivery and voice routing across borders.

Note: This tool runs entirely in your browser using a heuristic engine to detect country codes. No data is transmitted to any server, ensuring privacy for your customer lists.

Frequently Asked Questions

E.164 is the international telephone numbering plan that ensures each device on the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) has a globally unique number. It strictly follows the format: [+] [Country Code] [Subscriber Number] with a maximum of 15 digits.
Validation checks against country-specific rules. Common reasons include: exceeding the 15-digit limit, being too short (incomplete), or containing an invalid country calling code.
The tool includes specific formatting rules for the top 100+ most populated countries. For unsupported regions, it uses a generic fallback that validates based on the standard 15-digit limit.
Yes. Switch to "Bulk Mode" to paste a list of numbers. You can then copy the results or download a cleaned CSV file with the validation status for each number.
