Check Greek phone numbers at checkout
For customers in Greece, the checkout accepts only valid Greek phone numbers: 10 digits starting with 2 (landline) or 69 (mobile), with or without +30.
<?php
// 10 digits starting with 2 (landline) or 69 (mobile); +30 or 0030 in front is fine.
$valid_phone = static function ( string $phone ): bool {
$phone = preg_replace( '/[\s\-().]/', '', $phone );
$phone = preg_replace( '/^(\+30|0030)/', '', $phone );
return (bool) preg_match( '/^(2\d{9}|69\d{8})$/', $phone );
};
$message = 'Ο αριθμός τηλεφώνου δεν είναι έγκυρος. Γράψτε 10 ψηφία, π.χ. 6912345678 ή 2310123456.';
// Classic checkout.
add_action(
'woocommerce_after_checkout_validation',
static function ( $data, $errors ) use ( $valid_phone, $message ) {
if ( 'GR' !== ( $data['billing_country'] ?? '' ) || '' === (string) ( $data['billing_phone'] ?? '' ) ) {
return;
}
if ( ! $valid_phone( (string) $data['billing_phone'] ) ) {
$errors->add( 'validation', $message );
}
},

);
// Block checkout: billing and shipping addresses.
add_action(
'woocommerce_blocks_validate_location_address_fields',
static function ( $errors, $fields, $group ) use ( $valid_phone, $message ) {
if ( 'GR' !== ( $fields['country'] ?? '' ) || '' === (string) ( $fields['phone'] ?? '' ) ) {
return;
}
if ( ! $valid_phone( (string) $fields['phone'] ) ) {
$errors->add( 'snippet_gr_phone_' . $group, $message );
}
},

Good to know
Works with the classic checkout and the block checkout (WooCommerce 8.9 or later), for billing and shipping phones.
