Pattern Matching Criteria
Use to specify the phone number pattern which must be rejected. POM rejects all phone numbers which match this pattern. Reject patterns can be:

  • digits

  • *: Use as a wild card character. For example, 999* means any number starting with 999.

  • -: Use to specify a range of numbers. For example,1–3, numbers from 1 to 3.

  • ?: Use to specify any single digit. One ? means 1 digit. For example 9?? means any 3 digit number starting with the number 9.

  • []; Use to specify either one of the number in the brackets. For example, [0–1] means any number starting with 0 or 1.

POM provides a list of countries and the predefined reject patterns. For more information about the reject patterns associated with countries, see Default phone reject patterns for countries.
