TelephoneNumber.parse('[phone]', :ar).valid?
=> false

Tested with version 1.4.9 and 1.4.8

Numberjacki.io says this is a valid number..

Hey there @ezijlstra, thanks for opening this issue!

One update that needs to be made on the readme is that Numberjack is outdated when it comes to validations. With that said, we use Google's metadata as our source of truth, so a good way to test if the number should be valid or not is to use Google's demo, which can be found here https://libphonenumber.appspot.com/.

For this example, if you pass in the information into Google's demo, you get the following result:

The number is possible, but not for this region, so for the TelephoneNumber gem, we're expecting false as well. If you need that number to be valid for this region, I would recommend building an override file that you can use locally. Some more information can be found here: https://github.com/mobi/telephone_number#override-file.

Thanks!
