Web-to-lead issue with phone number validation rule

Question

I'm running into an issue with a validation rule. I'm not a developer, but I'm determined to figure this out. Here's what I know so far.

A web-to-lead form is getting an error when posting a lead due to a validation rule for the phone number that is NOT( REGEX( Phone , "^[0-9]*"). I only enter numbers in the form and still get an error due to this rule. The phone line in the code of this form is <label for="phone">Phone</label><input id="phone" maxlength="40" name="phone" size="20" type="text" />
I've tried changing the type to phone, phonenumber, and tel which all get the same error.

I found another rule on the web that suggested using NOT( OR( ISBLANK(Phone), REGEX( Phone,"(\D?[0-9]{3}\D?)[\s][0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}"))) and this worked, but then broke the production environment with the same error - "Only numbers are allowed in phone number."

With both of the Regex codes, I've entered both 1115554444 and 111-555-4444.

Has anybody run into a similar issue?

Try to use the validation rule below:

OR( OR( LEN( Phone ) <= 9 , LEN( Phone ) = 11, LEN( Phone ) = 12, LEN( Phone ) >= 14 ), NOT( OR( REGEX(Phone, "[0-9 ]+"), REGEX(Phone, "\+[0-9 ]+") ) ) )
