How to detect phone number on multiline using Regex?

I use this regular expression to detect 10 digits phone number:

/[0-9]{10}|[0-9]{3}.[0-9]{7}/gs

It detects things like: 050-1231231, 0501231231 and even: 050 and 1231231

I would like to detect the number even if it's across 10 lines like so:

0

5

0

1

2

3

1

Use

/\d(?:\W*\d){9}/g

See regex proof.

NOTE

If phone number is meant replace \W with [-+()\s], and/or add any other characters you see in your phone numbers.
