How to Filter Data Based on User Given Input?

Note that in the real world, I would never recommend trying to do this with user supplied phone numbers, because there are so many different ways that a phone number could be formatted, so the chances of finding a match would be low.

What I would do is to use an API to return an internationally formatted number. That way you can make sure it’s a valid number, and it’s well-formatted.

Disclaimer: I’m using a random phone number from https://www.randomphonenumbers.com/.

The API in question:
