You can't, phone numbers are more complex then that. You could use \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4} to match that basic pattern for all numbers though.

I used use \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}.

It works beautifully!!

FYI [to all the list] -- I thank all for their input. I only needed US phones, and I am forcing the user of the form to conform to xxx-xxx-xxxx as the input format.
