You should consider to use phone number as string and use MaxLength to validate.

[Required(ErrorMessage="Please enter your phone number")]
[MaxLength(10, ErrorMessage="Cannot be longer than 10 characters")]
public string Phone { get; set; }

You need to store phone number as string, so I can type ie,. +447912345678 or 00447912345678.

Than you can use StringLength attribute.

Remember that users might type the number with spaces or hyphons, ie. 079 12 34 56 78, or 079-12-34-56-78.

In my opinion you should use a string for the phone number field. Obviosuly if it is not a mandatory business request.

Then you can apply the StringLengthAttribute
