Based on your json you can do something like below

public function rules()
{
    return [
        'name'           => 'required',
        'dial_number'    =>  'required',
        'phone_number'   => 'required|array',
        'phone_number.number' => 'required|regex:/(^[0-9 ]+$)+/',
        'phone_number.internationalNumber' => 'required|regex:/(^[0-9 ]+$)+/',
        'phone_number.nationalNumber' => 'required|regex:/(^[0-9 ]+$)+/',
        'phone_number.e164Number' => 'required',
        'phone_number.countryCode' => 'required|string',
        'phone_number.countryCode' => 'required|string',
        'phone_number.dialCode' => 'required',
        //'image'           =>  'required',

You're validating against a nested array in Laravel:

public function rules()
        {
            return [
                ...
                'phone_number.number'   => 'required|regex:/(^[0-9 ]+$)+/',
            ];
        }

Read more in the docs.

You will check the number by regex. You will find a lot of variants of possible phone numbers. That means that you need a regex which is very flexible. How flexible the regex should be depends on you. here is an example:

'phone_number.number' => 'required|regex:/(^[0-9 ]+$)+/',
