    The current default for a phone number does not allow dashes or parentheses for the area code… I’d like to be able to format my phone number field so that a user can add whatever they want to separate the area code and the other parts of the number.

    Increasing the total number of characters to the phone number from 10 to 14 allows for a number of other variations of phone numbers:

    • 347-321-6509
    • (347) 321-6509
    • 347.321.6509

    Which I feel is just good enough. Unfortunately it leaves open the possibility of human input errors.
    Yes mistakes might happen.

    The best phone number check would be a pattern check for the order of phone numbers:

      + Country Code, space, three numbers (1-9 only), any separater character, three more numbers (1-9 only), another separator character, and finally four more numbers(1-9 only).
