AusPhones

AusPhones is a ruby gem that validates and identifies Australian Phone numbers.

Rather than simply parsing the number as being a valid phone number format and identifying the area code, this gem concentrates on providing information about the phone number provided.

Information available includes the number type (landline, mobile etc)

In addition to the area-code you can get the geo region of the number (where available) and for mobile numbers the carrier is provided.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'aus_phones'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install aus_phones

require 'aus_phones'
