If you want to check the format of the phone number then you can go for a validation rule itself instead of a trigger.

 

You can use the REGEX function to to phone validation.

Hi,

 

  I couldnt get what are you asking for and Why trigger? While creating the field you can specify it as "Phone" and if you need a validation to check it should contain 10digits you can write a validation as:

 

NOT(REGEX(Phone, "\\D*?(\\d\\D*?){10}"))

 

This validation checks that phone no. is in (123) 456 7890 format.

 

If this is not your requirement, please tell me you requirement.
