Just mildly noticing the topics discussed have wandered quite a bit away from Python, let alone even programming.
Phone numbers are not what they used to be. They tend to be quite portable and in some ways can be chained so my house phone rings through to my cell phone but a text will not be forwarded. And, if I do not choose to read my texts, no amount of sending would enlighten me about your needs. I know people who get WhatsApp messages but not standard texts, for example. -----Original Message----- From: Python-list <python-list-bounces+avi.e.gross=gmail....@python.org> On Behalf Of Chris Angelico via Python-list Sent: Monday, November 6, 2023 6:20 PM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: Checking if email is valid On Tue, 7 Nov 2023 at 10:11, Greg Ewing via Python-list <python-list@python.org> wrote: > > On 7/11/23 7:45 am, Mats Wichmann wrote: > > Continuing with the example, if you have a single phone number field, or > > let a mobile number be entered in a field marked for landline, you will > > probably assume you can text to that number. > > But if the site can detect that you've entered a mobile number into > the landline field or vice versa and reject it, then it can figure out > whether it can text to a given numner or not without you having > to tell it! > Oh yes, it totally can. Never mind that some mobile numbers are able to accept text messages but not calls, nor that some landline numbers can accept text messages as well as calls :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
