Since the generate fake phone numbers post didn't include source, and wasn't really directly JS related, that has been removed.

Linking to faker.js in npm as this is a much better library for generating fake data, including phone numbers.

Some trivia: the author of this library, who was always a bit a character, was recently arrested on suspected bomb-making: https://abc7ny.com/suspicious-package-queens-astoria-fire/6425363/

The faker.js doesn't have a way to generate specific country-based numbers for example (U.S), so for this reason I don't think it is better than the only generator solution.

faker supports phone numbers, and specifying a format.
