Catalysis of the reaction: RPO-R' + H2O = RPOOH + R'H. This reaction is the hydrolysis of any phosphoric ester bond, any ester formed from orthophosphoric acid, O=P(OH)3. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a phosphodiester to give a phosphomonoester and a free hydroxyl group. Catalysis of the reaction: sphingomyelin + H2O = N-acylsphingosine + choline phosphate. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a glycerophospholipid. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a lipid or phospholipid.
