A RegexField [Django-doc] is a form field. You can use it in a form to validate text before you for example store it in a model, but not in a model.

What you can do is add a RegexValidator [Django-doc] as validator to your model field:

from django.core.validators import RegexValidator

class User(AbstractUser):
    """User model."""

    username = None
    email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), unique=True)
    mob = models.CharField(
        max_length=17,
        validators=[RegexValidator(r'^\+?1?\d{9,15}$')]
    )


    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = []

    objects = UserManager()

As of you can also make use of the constraint framework [Django-doc] to validate constraints at the database layer. Not all databases per se check constraints, so it is not guaranteed to validate it at the database layer. You can define a constraint with:

from django.db.models import Q
from django.core.validators import RegexValidator

class User(AbstractUser):
    """User model."""

    username = None
    email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), unique=True)
    mob = models.CharField(
        max_length=17,
        validators=[RegexValidator(r'^\+?1?\d{9,15}$')]
    )


    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = []

    objects = UserManager()

    class Meta:
        constraints = [
            models.CheckConstraint(
                check=Q(mob__regex=r'^\+?1?\d{9,15}$'),
                name='mob_valid'
            ),
        ]

You can also define a form with RegexField, although if you add a validator that is not necessary. For example in a form you can add:

from django import forms

class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
    mob = forms.RegexField(regex=r'^\+?1?\d{9,15}$')

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = '__all__'
