I'm looking for a simple regex exp that will validate a phone number. The number can be between 8 an 10 digits and there can be no other characters. Can someone help out?

It looks like ^[0-9]{8,10}$ does the trick.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

You could try this regex:

^[2-9]{2}\d{6,8}$

Phone numbers in many countries start with 0, not 2-9... Why so many upvotes? – Gone Coding Jun 19 '12 at 11:09

\d{8,10}: would be the simplest way

Haven't checked it but i guess this will work [2-9][0-9]{7,9}

No, first part (`[^01]`) matches any characters, for example letters – MBO Jan 12 '11 at 11:22
