Can be updated to support extensions like this:
^(\(?\+?[0-9]*\)?)?[0-9\- \(\)]{10,}?([ext]+?[0-9]{3,})?$
This would allow, e.g:
+44 (0)123-456-789 x555
0123 456789 ext1234

I think this is a rough fix for the spaces issue that previous commenters have observed (will at least give a positive match, but you'll want to do something else if you're picking bits out of it).
^(\(?\+?[0-9]*\)?)?([0-9\-\(\)]|\s)*$

Hi,
I also had this warning but did as Paul and removed the space...
however now, the expression doesnt evaluate correctly giving a true for a correct telephone number when there are spaces within the string. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Sue,
I found that by removing the space between \- & \( resolves the warning. So then the pattern becomes:
^(\(?\+?[0-9]*\)?)?[0-9_\-\(\)]*$
