Validates Portuguese phone numbers. Does not check whether they exist or not; it just validates to see if they are well written.
Special numbers (as the emergency number 112, for instance), are currently not comtemplated.
There are three kinds of telephone numbers in Portugal (currently): residential, mobile and service numbers.
All of these numbers are composed of nine digits.
Residential numbers always start with the digit 2. The first few digits
identify the region it belongs to. Here is the list (note that the function
area_of may return accentuated words):
Mobile numbers always start with the digit 9. The first two digits identify the operator it belongs to. Here is the list:
Service numbers start with 707, 760, 800 or 808 (currently). Please refer to Portugal Telecom in order to know how they work, as they change from time to time.
