Try r"[1|8|9]\d{7}

re.match is trying to find the regex from the beginning of the string. But doesn't check automatically if the string has any other characters left. You can insert a dollar sign in the regex to mark the end of string. r"1|8|9\d{7}

Also, That regex checks number starts with 1 or 8 or 9 followed by 7 digits. So it may have any digits next, not restrict to length 8. 1, 12, 123478978989 are also valid but should be evaluated to invalid.
