Phone number Validation in Salesforce

Please help me regarding this validation , 
in the phone field we could enter only 10 digit not more or less than 10 digit and not contain any chanracter and i have created a validation which is as follow but in this there is a problem if we enter a number like 1234567891as then it not showing any error and for every condition it is perfect, please help me.
my validation is:
IF (not(isblank(Phone)),OR(NOT(REGEX(Phone , "\\D*?(\\d\\D*?){10}")), NOT(ISNUMBER(Phone))),NULL)

Hi Gyani,

In Validation Rule, the result of your criteria need to be true or false.
So do not use if, but AND and OR operators
more like :
AND(not(isblank(Phone)),OR(NOT(REGEX(Phone , "\\D*?(\\d\\D*?){10}")), NOT(ISNUMBER(Phone))))

regards,
jerome

Hey guys,
Finally i got the solution for this situation:

for this first creat a formula field of text data type and the formula field is:

SUBSTITUTE( 
SUBSTITUTE( 
SUBSTITUTE( 
SUBSTITUTE(Phone, "(", ""), ")", ""), " ", ""), "-", "")

and after that create a validation rule on this formula field and validation rule is:

OR(NOT(REGEX(Phone_F__c , "\\D*?(\\d\\D*?){10}")), NOT(ISNUMBER(Phone_F__c)))

But Jerome Lusinchi's answer solved my query i simply wanted to test a validation on phone number filed so that it only accepts numeric values of 10 digits no special characters and no alphabets.

If you need a more advanced validation, including checking length or if the number is valid at all - you can do that in the trigger handler, and use a ported libphonenumber (https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000G12oJUAR) library.
