Verifying first character of Phone field

I am integrating skype in salesforce and I want to make sure that each phone number is starting with "+". Is there any way to get this without using Apex?

 

Thank You

Krish

You can do this by validation rule

 

 

LEFT(Phone, 1) <> "+"

 

 

Hope this will help.

Thank you so much Ankit_Arora, this is really a good link. Also want help from you if you have ever done skype integration with salesforce?

Sure I would love to help you, just create another thread as this is not the right place to discuss this. "Apex Code Development" section is the best place where you can post your thread, so everyone can help you.
