You could use the isValid function, with type telephone or regex.

The isValid() phone option only supports - somewhat jingoistically, IMO - US formats.  Not much chop for most people out there, unfortunately.

Everything I thought has already been said, I just felt the need to show my appreciation for some excellent use of the word "jingoistically" there.

Incidentally, isValid("email") also sticks to no standards whatsoever.

There's no point trying.  Even if you were only validating against a known pattern, that's still not to say the value is a valid phone number (which, at the end of the day, is what you want).

What precisely are you trying to gain by doing this validation (and don't say "making sure they're valid" ;-)?
