There are so many combinations of European phone numbers, along with the
possible combinations of area codes, and hyphens or spaces may be used as
well, I wouldn't bother. If the phone number is critical, and important to
the person using your site, then treatitlike a password and have them enter
it twice. Although in that case they are likely to enter it correctly anyway.
One can only do so much.
