Finds runs of digits shaped like a phone number, with the usual separators and an optional country code. Expect false positives — the sample above includes one deliberately.
How to use the extract phone numbers from text
Phone numbers genuinely cannot be extracted reliably from free text, and any tool claiming otherwise is not being straight with you. The formats vary by country, separators vary by writer, and a long reference number or an order ID is indistinguishable from a phone number without context. This is tuned to catch numbers rather than to avoid false positives, on the grounds that a wrong entry in the list is obvious to a person reading it while a missing number is not. Check the output rather than trusting it. As with emails, extracted numbers are personal data and extracting them is not permission to call them.
