Take a quick glance at your text message inbox, and you’ll get an idea of how useful Short Message Service (SMS) is for businesses.

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 …
