I'm not aware that you can format numbers like that. AFAIK the number
formatting follows the decimal formatting Java rules [1] where things like
the "-" character refer to the default negative number prefix.
Phone numbers aren't numbers (add two together?!), they're strings. Or should
be; if they're not you may want to reconsider.
