# Phone

- `Phone()`

Validates whether the input is a valid phone number. This rule requires
the `giggsey/libphonenumber-for-php-lite` package.


```php
v::phone()->isValid('+1 650 253 00 00'); // true
v::phone('BR')->isValid('+55 11 91111 1111'); // true
v::phone('BR')->isValid('11 91111 1111'); // false
```
