Just keep in mind that invalid numbers will also pass that check,
such as 000-000- or 123-456-6789.  That's why my example was a bit
more involved.

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.

Josh -

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- as the input format.
