Non-strict allowance of phone numbers

[GenFusion122]

Entering alphabets into a phone number is allowed with the message "This student's phone number appears to be invalid... ", however considering the other strict parameters such as email, telegram handle, github username, etc... it feels out of place and doesn't fit in well with the other more strictly parsed fields.

Team's Response

According to the module website, it is better to warn rather than block incorrect inputs. As such, phone numbers such as 1234 5678 (HP) 1111-3333 (Office) can be accepted as recommended by the module website as well. By not forcing phone numbers to conform to a certain format, we are giving students more flexibility. Blocking such inputs might not add any value but allowing it does.
