UK Phone Number (wide) generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The UK Phone Number (wide) generator creates valid UK phone numbers that adhere to a broad range of possible formats for landline and mobile numbers in the United Kingdom, across different regions and services. This generator produces numbers for a variety of purposes, including local, national, and mobile calls.

Note

If you select United Kingdom from the Country-specific data list on the Options page of the Data Generator Project Properties wizard, the UK Phone Number (wide) generator will be applied to columns that meet the matching rules, replacing the default (United States) generator.

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
UK Phone Number (wide)	03045505941, 03787169652, …	character varyingcharactertext	UK

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column whose name contains ‘Wide’, preceded or followed by any or no characters, and ends with ‘Numb’ or ‘Phon’, 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.
