Title: UK Telephone Number Formats in 2009.

Comment:
Most UK telephone numbers can have either 9 or 10 digits after the 0 trunk prefix.
The initial 0 is omitted when calling from abroad.
01 and 02 area codes should have parentheses around them if the local number part does not begin with a 0 or 1.
01 and 02 area codes do not have parentheses around them if the local number part begins with a 0 or 1. These are National Dialling Only ranges.
All other area codes do not have parentheses around them as the area code is required for all calls.
Number formats are expressed as:
2+8 to represent (02x) xxxx xxxx [in 5 areas] or 05x xxxx xxxx or 070 xxxx xxxx.
3+7 to represent (011x) xxx xxxx [in 6 areas] or (01x1) xxx xxxx [in 6 areas] or 03xx xxx xxxx or 08xx xxx xxxx or 0800 xxx xxxx or 09xx xxx xxxx.
3+6 to represent 0500 xxxxxx or 0800 xxxxxx.
4+6 to represent (01xxx) xxxxxx [in 580 areas] or 07xxx xxxxxx.
4+5 to represent (01xxx) xxxxx [in 41 areas].
5+5 to represent (01xx xx) xxxxx [in 12 areas].
5+4 to represent (01xx xx) xxxx [in 1 area].
Valid formats include:
(011x) - 3+7.
(01x1) - 3+7.
(01xxx) - 4+6 or 4+5.
(01xx xx) - 5+5 or 5+4.
(02x) - 2+8.
03xx - 3+7.
05x - 2+8.
0500 - 3+6.
07xxx - 4+6.
070 - 2+8.
08xx - 3+7.
0800 - 3+7 or 3+6.
09xx - 3+7.
There are a small number of exceptions such as 0800 1111 and 0845 4647.
The UK system is quite complex!

Hi Dave, thanks for your comment
Would you say that
(\s*\(?0\d{4}\)?\s*\d{6}\s*)|(\s*\(?0\d{2}\)?\s*\d{4}\s*\d{4}\s*)
would be a more accurate regex then?

I'm afraid you've got the London telephone codes wrong. Technically speaking, the area code for the whole of London is (020), not (0207) and (0208). The 7 or 8 digit is prefixed to the old 7 digit number. This means that both inner and outer London count as local to each other when dialling e.g. 7123 4567.

Doesn't allow leading/trailing spaces (as I don't want them!) and also allows the following patterns:
00000 000000
0000 0000000
0000 000 0000
