My Phone Number is NOT INVALID.

Friday, April 4th, 2008

I was looking through some code on the site I maintain and was struck by how often we use something like

“Invalid Phone Number. Please enter a valid phone number, including area code (example: 555-555-1212)”

If I enter 3133388839 in the phone number field it would yell and say INVALID.
