# Class PhoneNumber (5.0.3)

    public final class PhoneNumber implements Serializable, Comparable<PhoneNumber>

A human-readable phone number. No validation is performed because phone numbers have many
different formats - local, long distance, domestic, international, internal extension, TTY, VOIP,
SMS, and alternative networks like Skype, XFire and Roger Wilco. They all have their own
numbering and addressing formats.
