Phone number field for Django admin
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2015-08-06) and targets Django 1.7 and 1.8, which are over a decade old. Compatibility with modern Django, Python, and phone number standards is not documented and almost certainly broken. Use a maintained alternative instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

- Whether region-specific formatting actually works as documented for all configured regions.
What it is and what it does
django-phonenumbers is a Django app that adds a PhoneNumberField for models and forms, allowing you to store phone numbers with region-specific validation and formatting. It integrates with Django admin to provide a dedicated phone input widget and uses configurable regex patterns and format strings to display numbers according to regional conventions. The package stores phone numbers as objects with country code, region code, and number components, and provides template filters and tags to format them on display.
However, it has been abandoned since 2015-08-06 and was designed for Django 1.7 and 1.8, making it unsuitable for modern Django projects without significant maintenance or forking.
Use it for
- Add a phone number field to a Django model with automatic validation and formatting for a specific region.
- Display phone numbers in templates using region-specific formats via the phone_number_format filter.
- Provide a dedicated phone input widget in Django admin with country and region selection.
- Store and retrieve phone numbers with their country code and region code as separate attributes.
- Format phone numbers inline in templates using custom regex patterns and prefix rules.
