Putting up a modal alert when the user tries to focus a different field is, IMHO, quite annoying. Maybe I don't know the phone number yet? Maybe someone is reading the values to me and I have to fill in a different field that's being read right now? Maybe I was just tabbing through the phone-number field on my way to a different field but got stuck there by this alert?

It's much better to wait until the user tries to submit the form, and then do the validation. That's what most websites do.
