Hi,
I am writing to report an issue regarding the validation of certain Malaysian phone numbers.
We noticed that some valid numbers are incorrectly returning false when using the isValidNumber method.
Example:
  • Phone Number: +60 1952526663
Could you please investigate why this is happening?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
kuangle

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to improve libphonenumber!

We support mobile numbers that start with the prefix 19 and have a length of 9 digits assigned to the Celcom carrier.
But the number you provided is ten digits long. We have created a bug b/499847615 to further investigate this.

Thanks & Regards,
Kavitha
