Regex pattern for matching phone numbers

Question

I want a regex-pattern for my phone number validator.

It has to allow digits, +, (, ) and -.

The restrictions are:

The + needs to be at the beginning of the output (something like: "+31(427)-103819" needs to be valid)
The +, (, ) and - are not required
The output has to end with a digit
No restrictions on length is required

Hope somebody can make me a regex for this, I have looked at different generators and ended up with something like this:

/^(\\+)*(\\d+)(\\()*(\\d+)(\\))*(-)*(\\d+)$/

This does not do what I want. Some example numbers that have to be valid:

190138190
103-10381-390101
(0358)-103810381
(1038)1038103
+1081(1081)-193810
+1903(3913)193810

Which RegEx language are you using? For example Vim regular expressions are different from Perl's.. — cgledezma, Jun 04 '13 at 09:55

Think this one is the easiest. And it covered all my possibilities. Thanks a lot! – Haidy Jun 04 '13 at 12:06

Just pasted examples in http://gskinner.com/RegExr/, then searched existing ones in Community (just double tap each item in the list until it fits for all examples). Found this one:

^([().-\s0-9+]{2,}(?:(?::|x)[\s]*(?=(?:\d{1,4}))\d{1,4}[\s]*)?)$

I recommend you to use such tools when you wish to find a regex for suchpresumably popular patterns as a phone number or email address.
