Insert character into string

This may be a basic question, but I need to manipulate a string. I have a string that is a phone number in this format: +18888888888. I need it to become 888-888-8888. How can I do so?
Thank you!

Here's one way: 
public static String formatPhoneNumber(String pNum) {
   pNum = pNum.right(10);
   return pNum.left(3) +  '- ' + pNum.substring(3, 6) + '-' + pNum.right(4);		
}
