Validate Mobile number using regular expression

Question

I need to validate mobile number. My need:

The number may start with +8801 or 8801 or 01

The next number can be 1 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9

Then there have exact 8 digit.

How can i write the regular expression using this conditions ?

the mobile numbers I tried

+8801811419556
01811419556
8801711419556
01611419556
8801511419556

A word of caution - regular expressions often aren't the easiest things to read even for seasoned programmers. Ask yourself the question: If the criteria changed, would you be comfortable making further changes? — Robbie Dee, Feb 26 '13 at 12:06
@Shurmajee Actually the number is 11 digit long. All number start with 01. Then next 1 digit varies from operator to operator. Then the next 8 digit provided by operator. — Emdadul Sawon, Jun 14 '16 at 06:10

Should be pretty simple:

^(?:\+?88)?01[15-9]\d{8}$

^ - From start of the string
(?:\+?88)? - optional 88, which may begin in +
01 - mandatory 01
[15-9] - "1 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9"
\d{8} - 8 digits
$ - end of the string

Working example: http://rubular.com/r/BvnSXDOYF8

Update 2020

As BTRC approved 2 new prefixes, 013 for Grameenphone and 014 for Banglalink, updated expression for now:

^(?:\+?88)?01[13-9]\d{8}$

@MajbahHabib - The question does not ask for numbers starting with `00`, so no. You can relatively easily change the pattern, for example, assuming `00` is an international access code: `^(?:(?:\+|00)?88)?01[15-9]\d{8}$` – Kobi Sep 16 '18 at 05:17

I know, that question was asked long time ago, but i assume that @G. M. Nazmul Hossain want to validate mobile number againt chosen country. I show you, how to do it with free library libphonenumber from Google. It's available for Java, C++ and Javascript, but there're also fork for PHP and, i believe, other languages.

+880 tells me that it's country code for Bangladesh. Let's try to validate example numbers with following code in Javascript:

String bdNumberStr = "8801711419556"
PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
try {
    //BD is default country code for Bangladesh (used for number without 880 at the begginning)
    PhoneNumber bdNumberProto = phoneUtil.parse(bdNumberStr, "BD");
} catch (NumberParseException e) {
    System.err.println("NumberParseException was thrown: " + e.toString());
}
boolean isValid = phoneUtil.isValidNumber(bdNumberProto); // returns true

That code will handle also numbers with spaces in it (for example "880 17 11 41 95 56"), or even with 00880 at the beggininng (+ is sometimes replaced with 00).

Try it out yourself on demo page. Validates all of provided examples and even more.

Thanks for the help. This is nice but it shows "8801311419556" and "8801411419556" as valid number But these two format are invalid mobile number. — G. M. Nazmul Hossain, Mar 03 '15 at 04:19
@G. M. Nazmul Hossain - Are you sure, they aren't valid? You can fill bug on libphonenumber page for it: https://github.com/googlei18n/libphonenumber/issues . Google's building DB all over the world, so they would've missed something ;) — Paweł Tomkiel, Mar 03 '15 at 07:45

Bangladeshi phone number (Citycell, Robi, Grameen Phone, Banglalink, Airtel and Teletalk operators) validation by using regular expression :

$pattern = '/(^(\+8801|8801|01|008801))[1-9]{1}(\d){8}$/';
$BangladeshiPhoneNo = "+8801840001417";

if(preg_match($pattern, $BangladeshiPhoneNo)){
    echo "It is a valid Bangladeshi phone number;
}
