Phone numbers not formatting correctly

[elarue]

According to the documentation in the README,

echo $faker->phoneNumber;

Is supposed to output a U.S. phone number. However, here is an example of a phone number I got using this command:

+30(9)4312207752

I also have had phone numbers with an area code or a prefix that starts with '1', which is not allowed in U.S. phone numbers.

Here is the list of phone number patterns for the US locale:

• +##(#)##########
• +##(#)##########
• 0##########
• 0##########
• ###-###-####
• (###)###-####
• 1-###-###-####
• ###.###.####
• ###-###-####
• (###)###-####
• 1-###-###-####
• ###.###.####
• ###-###-####x###
• (###)###-####x###
• 1-###-###-####x###
• ###.###.####x###
• ###-###-####x####
• (###)###-####x####
• 1-###-###-####x####
• ###.###.####x####
• ###-###-####x#####
• (###)###-####x#####
• 1-###-###-####x#####
• ###.###.####x####

The phone number you got corresponds to the first pattern ; I see patterns starting with 1, too.

If you know which are allowed and which are not, would you mind tweaking this list and sending me a PR on the US PhoneNumber provider?

I believe phone numbers starting with a 1 are valid in the US (like 1-800 numbers).

1 as a prefix is fine, however the area code and exchange code are not allowed to start with 0 or 1. Pull request coming later today.
