This is all very well but phone numbers aren't formatted like that - they're
#####-######, or ###-####-####
And of course they all start with a '0' so can't be handled as numbers. And
they're all eleven digits, not ten.
And of course if they're international they don't have the zero but start with
+ (ie +##-####-######), sometimes given as +(0)##-####-###### to indicate both
international and national. And some people actually put 00 as that's the real
code for +. So that may add three digits.
And actually are usually given with spaces (ie "##### ######", or "### ####
####", or "+## #### ######", or "+(0)##-####-######".
Though of course 'national' in my context means UK. ;-)
Which brings us back to Michael's earlier recommendation that you don't
hard-code any particular national convention regarding how phone numbers should
be formatted.
Helpfully,
Maybe,
Richard.

yes there is a issue with even this approach.
I am using XSL 1.0
1.
<xsl:decimal-format name="phonenumber" decimal-separator="-"
grouping-separator="‑"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select='format-number(1234567890 div 10000,
"#‑###-####", "phonenumber")' />
</xsl:template>
its returning 123-456-789 which is wrong. (Zero is missing)
2.
<xsl:decimal-format name="staff" grouping-separator="-"/>
<xsl:value-of select='format-number(9058957869, "000-000-0000",
"staff")'/>
its returning me 90-5895-7869 which is wrong.
required out put is 905-895-7869
Please suggest me the correct approach.
Thanks,
Anil

what could be the issue.
That looks like a bug in your XSLT processor.
(But this is not the way I would recommend tackling this problem).
