De la même manière que les SMS, la réglementation sur les numéros de téléphones varie d’un pays à l’autre. Pour connaître les subtilités de chaque pays, Twilio met à disposition une page décrivant ces règles par pays : les phone number guidelines.

Pour chaque pays, il est indiqué les types de ressources que Twilio peut provisionner :

Data validation is essential to any application, regardless of its size and purpose. Without it, you risk using data that's forged by malicious actors, contains only junk—or is a combination of both. And it doesn't matter where the data comes from either; whether from a web form, retrieved from a database, or read from an environment setting.

Gladly, validation is extremely common in modern software development, so much so that there are numerous third-party packages available on Packagist, and PHP's major frameworks all have a validation component. With them, you can validate email addresses, passwords, dates, IP addresses, numbers and so much more!

However, what happens when the package or framework doesn't support your use case, such as validating a phone number? In that case, you roll your own!

In this tutorial, we're going to build a custom Laravel validation rule object that validates a phone number from any country …

Il existe de nombreux SoftPhones, par exemple Zoiper, LinPhone, X-Lite ou MicroSIP que vous pouvez installer sur votre ordinateur pour pouvoir ensuite appeler et recevoir des appels directement depuis votre ordinateur. Il ne vous manque qu’un opérateur téléphonique auquel vous pourriez vous connecter en SIP. C'est notamment ce que propose la plateforme Twilio : connecter ces SoftPhones pour recevoir les appels depuis votre numéro de téléphone, mettre en place un SVI intelligent, émettre des appels partout dans le monde... en un mot: designer l’interface téléphonique qui répond à tous vos besoins.

Dans cet exemple nous allons commencer par le plus simple : chaque utilisateur est lié à un numéro de téléphone.

Informations demandées par les SoftPhones (ou téléphones SIP)

La configuration des softphones demande principalement deux informations :

• Un domaine SIP, sur lequel votre SoftPhone va s’enregistrer. C’est un peu l’équivalent de votre fournisseur …

If you're planning on sending mass text notifications you'll want to make sure that the numbers you're sending to are valid. This post will quickly show how to use the Twilio Lookup API to sanitize your data, checking that:

• Phone numbers are real

• Phone numbers are mobile

Validating and sanitizing phone numbers will mean fewer API errors for sending to non-existent, incorrectly formatted, or landline numbers, giving you greater confidence in your system.

Prerequisites for sanitizing phone numbers
