Title: UK mobile phone RegEx

Comment:
UK mobiles now also use 074, 075 and 07624. Having found the 07 once, why keep on searching for it again in multiple OR statements? That is very inefficient.
Try this replacement pattern:
^07([45789]\d{2}|624)\s?\d{3}\s?\d{3}$

Comment:
Once the 07 part has been found, there's no need to keep on finding it again. UK numbers beginning 07 (except for 070 personal numbers and 076 pagers) are mobile numbers, but 071, 072 and 073 are not yet in service. Don't forget 07624 is used for mobile numbers in the Isle of Man.
Try this: "^(\+44\s?|0)7([45789]\d{2}|624)\s?\d{6}$"
