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-xxxx as the input format.
