US Number is not getting recognized

[vishalsanghai]

	phoneNumber := "+15551234567"
	num, err := libphonenumber.Parse(phoneNumber, "")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Error parsing phone number: %v\n", err)
		return
	}
	if libphonenumber.IsValidNumber(num) {
		fmt.Println("The phone number is valid.")
	} else {
		fmt.Println("The phone number is not valid.")
	}

Why is this valid US number being marked as not valid?
However another US number works fine : +14155552671

Hello @vishalsanghai,
I am having a similar issue with the recent set of Nigerian number that starts with 091 meanwhile other numbers that starts with 090, 081 and so on works just fine. I would try and address the issue.
Do have a wonderful day

The simple answer is that there is no area code 555 in the US. Therefore, +15551234567 is not a valid number.

This is not anything unique to this library. You will also see the same behaviour in google/libphonenumber so it would be a bug if ttacon/libphonenumber recognised a 555 number.

I found an online phone number parser and confirmed that is expected behaviour.

555 Not real area code - https://libphonenumber.appspot.com/phonenumberparser?number=%2B15551234567
415 San Francisco, CA - https://libphonenumber.appspot.com/phonenumberparser?number=%2B14155552671

This library github.com/ttacon/libphonenumber is not up to date with github.com/google/libphonenumber. To handle phone number validation on your platforms, I will suggest you use this library instead github.com/nyaruka/phonenumbers. It is a fork of github.com/ttacon/libphonenumber, and it is updated with this library github.com/google/libphonenumber. That was, you would have no issue with validating recent sets of numbers (at least in my case, I can sign up using my phone number now).
