It is possible to create a Business Rule and use a Regular Expression to check the validity of the length and/or format of a Phone Number (or any STRING field).  

Please note that currently the rule will only execute in the UI (as Business Rules on Import of Phone Information is not currently supported). 

Below example of basic validation check for USA and India phone numbers (can be used onChange as well as onSave).

 

Note: the rule works better if one phone is maintained. As the Phone Information is a grid portlet, it is not possible to trigger the validation only over one of the values. Also, validation over the deleted values may still be performed.
