Hi Jack (and everyone else). Thank you for that hint. I went to CCK and found the PDF of the numbering plan for Kenya - I assume this is the resource you are referring to. I find mobile numbering at page 27, but can not identify anything there that would tell me how numbers would be listed in any other way than what I previously listed. Maybe I am missing something (?) Could you please clarify what exactly it is you feel I am missing in the numbering plan - that would be very helpful - thanks. Oh on second thought... are you referring to the fact that no numbers are assigned within the following number-series ? [703-709] [740-749] [754-769] [775-785] [790-799] ..

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create some code to validate/sanitize mobile phone numbers entered by users, for use with SMS gateways.
So far I have the following:
729974802 becomes: 254729974802 0729974802 becomes: 254729974802 0 729 974 802 becomes: 254729974802 254 729974802 becomes: 254729974802 +254 729974802 <tel:%2B254%20729974802> becomes: 254729974802 (254) 7 29974802 becomes: 254729974802 +(254) 7 29974802 <tel:%2B%28254%29%207%2029974802> becomes: 254729974802 (+254) (0) 7 29974802 <tel:%28%2B254%29%20%280%29%207%2029974802> becomes: 254729974802
However I am not sure that I have captured all the different ways that a Kenyan mobile-phone number could be entered. So the question to you all is: are there more ways a number could be entered ?
n.b. if anyone is interested the code for the above is (in php): $phone = '254' . preg_replace('/^\+?(\(?\+?254\)?)?(\(?0\)?)?7/', '7', str_replace(' ', '', $input));
