It is especially important for address form on checkout, where people often abandon carts due to complicated checkout process.

According to feedback from one of our clients, Phone Mask extension decreased number of new abandoned carts on 7%.

There is no need to modify any template or layout files. The extension uses only Javascript, and it does not utilize any other libraries. It means, that the Phone Mask Magento extension is very lite and will work on any Magento theme.

An admin can specify any kind of phone mask and limit what data a user can input. In other words, an admin specify phone template which entered data must conform to. With Phone Mask Magento extension all entered phones will be in the same format. For example, when entering a phone number on a data capture form, in the format "(___) ___ - ____" the area code brackets, the space between the number and the area code will automatically be placed in.
