Validator::extend('phone', function($attribute, $value, $parameters, $validator) {
        return preg_match('%^(?:(?:\(?(?:00|\+)([1-4]\d\d|[1-9]\d?)\)?)?[\-\.\ \\\/]?)?((?:\(?\d{1,}\)?[\-\.\ \\\/]?){0,})(?:[\-\.\ \\\/]?(?:#|ext\.?|extension|x)[\-\.\ \\\/]?(\d+))?$%i', $value) && strlen($value) >= 10;

Usage

Insert this code in the app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php to be booted up with your application.

This rule validates the telephone number against the given pattern above that i found after
long search it matches the most common mobile or telephone numbers in a lot of countries
This will allow you to use the phone validation rule anywhere in your application, so your form validation could be:

 'phone' => 'required|numeric|phone' 

Answer 3

There are a lot of things to consider when validating a phone number if you really think about it. (especially international) so using a package is better than the accepted answer by far, and if you want something simple like a regex I would suggest using something better than what @SlateEntropy suggested. (something like A comprehensive regex for phone number validation)

Answer 4

Use required|numeric|size:11 Instead of required|min:11|numeric

Answer 5

You can try out this phone validator package. Laravel Phone

Update

I recently discovered another package Lavarel Phone Validator (stuyam/laravel-phone-validator), that uses the free Twilio phone lookup service

Answer 6

You can simple use :

        'mobile_number' => ['required', 'digits:10'],
