Phone Number Type generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Phone Number Type generator creates a specific type or classification for a given phone number. The classification indicates the nature or purpose of the phone number and its expected use case.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
Phone Type	Cell, Fax, Home, …	character varyingcharactertext	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name is ‘Name’, and it belongs to a table whose name contains ‘PhoneNumberType’, preceded or followed by any or no characters.
The column name starts with ‘PhoneNumberType’ and then goes ‘Numb’, preceded or followed by any or no characters, and ends with ‘Numb’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
