How to know if an number is from Alfa vs Touch

Fischer

We all know that alfa and mtc buy different numbers. I want to change my alfa number, i want to buy an mtc number. So how to know which number is an alfa number and which's an mtc number just by looking at it?

This script should help you.

I scraped the website a little to find it.
It's weirdly and abruptly coded but you should still be able to read it.

That's their production code? That's one pile of shit, the one who wrote it obviously doesn't know that regex exists(and is largely useful for validation), never heard of javascript modules, and doesn't even know how to program.

I thought the exact same thing when I read the code.
But, in the end, what can we do about it, they don't want to pay for good programmers.

They're full of intermediaries actually, just like banks and government institutions. Full of unqualified people.

Knowing that 90% of the lebanese websites are created using microsoft frontpage or some other WYSIWYG editor, i see alfa's code as a masterpiece, they actually know that javascript exist! 2 years from now, they'll discover that javascript sucks :)
