📞 Phone Number Validator

This Python program uses the phonenumbers and pycountry libraries to validate and provide additional information about a phone number entered by the user. The program prompts the user to enter a phone number to validate, and then validates the phone number using the phonenumbers library. If the phone number is valid, the program uses the pycountry library to get the name of the country for the phone number, and uses the phonenumbers.carrier.name_for_number() and phonenumbers.geocoder.description_for_number() functions to get the name of the carrier and the location for the phone number, respectively. The program then prints the validation results and additional information about the phone number if it is valid.

📋 Requirements

This program requires the following libraries to be installed:

phonenumbers: This library provides functions for parsing, formatting, and validating international phone numbers.
pycountry: This library provides a database of country names and codes based on the ISO 3166 standard.

You can install these libraries using pip by running the following command:

pip install phonenumbers pycountry

🚀 Usage
