When to use this pattern
This pattern is drawn from the Localization > Phone Numbers category and carries a ReDoS-safe certification. That matters for JavaScript developers because especially critical in long-running Node.js event loops where a ReDoS vulnerability can block the entire process. RegexVault audits patterns against known backtracking attack vectors, ensuring you have the necessary context before using this regex in a high-stakes production environment.
Common Pitfalls
Singapore landlines (6xxx xxxx) and mobiles (8xxx xxxx / 9xxx xxxx) can be distinguished by the first digit. VoIP numbers (3xxx xxxx) are increasingly common.
Technical Notes
Singapore number prefixes: 3 (VoIP/Internet calling), 6 (landline), 8 (mobile), 9 (mobile). All Singapore numbers are 8 digits. +65 is the country code. Emergency numbers (999, 995) do not follow this format.
