Default Phone # input mask

Hi. I'm using this mask for a phone number mask:
!\(999") "000\-0000;0

Now, we have international phone numbers as well.

I'm wondering if I need to add an international phone number field as well?
How can I incorporate foreign numbers as well as US numbers- what field
length do I need and what kind of mask can I use?

Thanks for your help!

You can't use a mask with international phone numbers: no mask is flexible
enough.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up going without an input mask.

Thanks for the reply. I added a field for international numbers (without a
mask) and called it good.
