Faker generate a phone number

Question

I use the Faker library to generate a phone number. How to configure the generation so that the number is output in the format +7916xxxxxxxx

Faker faker = new Faker(new Locale("ru", "Moscow"));
String phone = faker.phoneNumber().cellPhone();

I put the location on the desired segment, but the wrong format comes to the place of the phone number according to the type 999.000.999

Did you try searching the Faker documentation? – Jorn Jun 15 '23 at 12:07 — Jorn, Jun 15 '23 at 12:07

Calling phoneNumber() gives the correct Russian format.

Locale locale = new Locale("ru");
Faker faker = new Faker(locale);
System.out.println(faker.phoneNumber().phoneNumber());
// +7(979)761-86-72

The cell_phone format has not been added in the Russia's locale file, only phone_number.

So, we can use the above method to generate Russia phone numbers.

Note: Looks like Moscow has different format for Phone Number. I guess, there is no city-wise formatting in Faker.
