When your customers book online on your Guestonline's module, they necessarily have to indicate an email address and a mobile phone number, to be reachable and especially receive their confirmation of reservation. The formats of the telephone numbers are verified, to assure you the valid address and phone number: for instance a French mobile phone number cannot contain 9 or 11 figures.
