Answers.Text: Iowa Boy is right in the sense that if you want to make phone mandatory then instead of using New Individual you could use a Profile for adding contacts. DOesn't prevent folk not using the Profile though if they have access to the backend. But from the question it is not nec. clear if this is to ensure no record is EVER created without a phone, or if this is only a requirement in certain circumstances. Perhaps this Answer could be improved by suggesting use of a standalone profile in create mode?

  I assume you are wanting to require a phone number when some contributes, becomes a member, or registers for an event.
  
  Go to Admin > Custom Data > Profiles
  
  Look for the Profile that you will be using in your Event/Contribution pages and to the right click Fields
  
  You can edit the Phone field and make it Required
