Question

The phone number should start with +65, followed by 6|8|9 with a total of 11 digits. For example: +6598798765

Have you tried to solve this? If yes, [edit] the question and add the regex. — Tushar, Feb 27 '17 at 06:09

8

/\+65(6|8|9)\d{7}/g

\+ matches the character + literally (case sensitive)

65 matches the characters 65 literally (case sensitive)

1st Capturing Group (6|8|9)

1st Alternative 6 (6 matches the character 6 literally (case sensitive))
2nd Alternative 8 (8 matches the character 8 literally (case sensitive))
3rd Alternative 9 (9 matches the character 9 literally (case sensitive))

\d{7} matches a digit (equal to [0-9])

{7} Quantifier — Matches exactly 7 times

The pattern error is a typo, I fixed the `or` selection @Tushar. – KAD Feb 27 '17 at 06:12
This is Correct \+65[6|8|9]\d{7} Thanks – Naveen Kumar Thippirishetty Feb 27 '17 at 06:16
The one in the answer is correct, the one you stated as correct may match a `|` character as @Tushar noted – KAD Feb 27 '17 at 06:21

Are you sure 6 is the starting letter for Singapore mobile number? I know only 8 or 9 starting digit. – Yalamandarao Dec 06 '18 at 08:10
@Singapore - The answer was based on the numbers provided within the question, you may be right though... – KAD Dec 06 '18 at 12:31

You should use the cap(^) to indicate start of a string and EOS($) to specify the end of string.

var re=/^\+65(6|8|9)\d{7}$/;
var true_mob = "+6561234567";
var false_mob = "+6512345678";
console.log(re.test(true_mob));
console.log(re.test(false_mob));
