In case someone find this thread, we don't use 'e164PhoneNumber' anymore.
Instead, we use <regexify(((+)33((?6\d|7[3-9])\d{7})> in alice fixtures files.

I noticed the same with invalid swiss (de_CH) phone numbers. Would be nice if faker would offer more strict phone number generation.

@mergeMarc Have you tried generating a number via numerify()?

[mergeMarc]

I could use numerify but only with the last few digits being random. The application i generate fixtures for has more strict validation (with libphonenumber-for-php) so things like area codes also need to be valid.

Using numerify would definitely be a valid workaround if only a smaller subset of possible phone numbers is needed (also randomly selecting from multiple numerify inputs). Probably less expensive than some regexify stuff too.

I would still be interested in this. Only issue i could see is that this would require a full on reverse regex type of solution to generate phone numbers based on commonly used metadata (like googles libphonenumber). So it might be overkill for some use cases.

My current workaround uses a reverse regex library with a static regex to generate plausible phone numbers for a country.
Example regex for swiss phone numbers (extracted from libphonenumber):

\+41((2[12467]|3[1-4]|4[134]|5[256]|6[12]|[7-9]1)\d{7}|7[35-9]\d{7})
