Phone (USPhoneNumberGenerator)

The Phone generator generates a random telephone number that matches the country or region of the input telephone number and maintains the format.

Link object structure

The Phone generator does not support linking. It can be made self-consistent, but not consistent with another column. You cannot configure differential privacy.

The metadata object is populated from the PhoneNumberMetadata object, which includes a setting to indicate whether to replace invalid telephone numbers with valid telephone numbers.

{
  "schema": "string",
  "table": "string",
  "column": "string",
  "dataType": "string",  //MongoDB only
  "metadata": {
    "presetId": "string",
    "generatorId": "USPhoneNumberGenerator",
    "replaceInvalidNumbers": boolean,
    "isConsistent": boolean,
    "encryptionProcessor": "x-on", //To use configured Structural data encryption
    "customValueProcessor": "string"  //If custom value processor applied
  }
}
