Powerful Features for Every Use Case
🌍 Multiple Phone Formats
Four Format Options:
International Format– Flexible format that adapts to any country’s phone standards. Accepts various international patterns like +1 (123) 456-7890 or +44 1234 567890.
- US Format– (123) 456-7890 – Standard North American format with automatic parentheses and dashes.
- UK Format– 01234 567890 – British format with space after area code.
- Custom Format– Define your own pattern using 9 for digits and symbols for separators (e.g., +99 999-999-9999).
Why Format Matters:
- Ensures consistency across submissions
- Improves data quality and readability
- Matches user expectations by region
- Simplifies phone number validation
Smart Placeholders:
Format-specific placeholder text automatically appears to guide users on the expected format.

Cross-Device Compatibility:

🎯 Custom Format Patterns
Define Your Own Format
Need a format not included? Create custom patterns using simple notation:
Pattern Syntax:
- Use `9` for any digit
- Use symbols as separators (parentheses, dashes, spaces, dots)
- Example: `(999) 999-9999` becomes `(123) 456-7890`
Common Custom Patterns:
- Australia: `99 9999 9999` → `02 1234 5678`
- Germany: `+49 999 999 9999` → `+49 123 456 7890`
- Japan: `999-9999-9999` → `123-4567-8901`
- Any country: Define your exact format
Live Preview:
See how your custom format will look with example phone numbers before users see it.
📏 Length Validation
Minimum & Maximum Length Control
Set the fewest and most digits allowed. Ensure phone numbers meet your requirements with built-in browser validation.
Smart Digit Counting:
Length validation counts only digits, ignoring formatting characters like parentheses, spaces, and dashes.
Examples:
- US mobile: Min 10, Max 10 (exactly 10 digits)
- International: Min 7, Max 15 (covers most countries)
- Local numbers: Min 7, Max 7 (7-digit local)
- Flexible: Min 10, Max 15 (various formats)
Real-Time Validation:
Visual feedback appears if phone number is too short or too long, preventing invalid submissions.
✅ Default Phone Numbers
Pre-Fill Phone Fields
Set a default phone number that appears when the form loads. Useful for support lines, headquarters numbers, or common contacts.
Use Cases:
- Pre-fill support hotline for callback requests
- Show headquarters number as example
- Set default area code for region-specific forms
- Pre-populate known user phone from database
Editable Defaults:
Users can easily edit or replace the default value – it’s a starting point, not locked.
🙈 Hidden Field Mode
Invisible Phone Storage
Create hidden phone fields that aren’t visible to users but submit data with the form. Perfect for tracking, system numbers, or backend values.
Use Cases:
- Store system callback numbers
- Track support line identifiers
- Include department extensions
- Hidden contact metadata
How It Works:
Set the “Hidden Value” and it’s automatically included in every form submission without appearing in your form’s UI.
🔀 Conditional Logic
Dynamic Phone Field Visibility
Show or hide phone fields based on other form values. Create intelligent forms that adapt to user selections.
Advanced Logic Rules:
- AND Logic – All conditions must be met
- OR Logic – Any condition can trigger the action
- 8 Operators – Equals, Not equals, Greater than, Less than, Contains, Is empty, and more
Use Cases:
- Show “Mobile number” only when contact preference equals “Phone”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between phone formats?
