I can see how that would be helpful, however I prefer a mask that auto-advances to the next field allowing you to just type in the 10 needed digits and be done with it.
So we can better help you, please edit your Profile to include your general location.

That works too, but I do have some reservations about masks in that it can prevent you from entering things like "unlisted" instead of the number.

Conceptually that should be easy to fix: If you start the "number" with anything but a numeral, it converts itself to a freeform field.
