How to compare phone numbers?

Question

As PhoneNumberUtils is deprecated, How can we two phone numbers if they're identical enough for caller ID purposes. I mean different formats +44xxxxxxxxxx, 0xxxxxxxxxx

[`PhoneNumberUtils`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/PhoneNumberUtils.html) is not deprecated, despite what your post says. — Flimm, Nov 23 '18 at 11:37

The best way would be for you to create a regular expression that would parse the actual phone number xxx-xxxx from any of it's prefixes (+xx, xxx).
