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.
