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.
