Dashes and parentheses in Phone number

How do I delete the parentheses and dashes from a phone number in a form asking for only 10 digits — no spaces, or symbols. Every time I try to do this the auto fill fills the form in the normal phone number format. I want to reformat with the symbols or spaces?

Hello rvallinj,


When filling out a form which requests a phone number, many apps, forms or webpages will automatically add the needed symbols or spaces. As long as you follow whatever directions the form provides, your phone number should fit in their provided space.

If you're having issues with typing in only digits, and the form is adding the extra characters, but you can't finish typing in your phone number, then you'll want to contact the provider of the form for assistance.


Cheers!
