Validation implies rejection, and your users will find that annoying. A better option is to accept as much as possible by first stripping all non-digits from the string, and then checking the length and initial digits vs a few simple rules:

• If 11 digits and starts with a 1, strip first digit.
• If 10 digits accept if it starts with 2-9.
• If 12-14 digits accept if starts with a valid country code.
• Rreject everything else.

This passes a lot more through than trying to force your users into a specific format, and makes for simpler, faster validation code. Then you just format it nicely whenever you re-display it.

Also check this regular expression:

^\D?(\d{3})\D?\D?(\d{3})\D?(\d{4})$
