(555) 123-1234
Now, however, I have noticed a trend where all the numbers are separated by the dash and the parentheses have gone the way of the dodo, i.e.:

There you have it. I am so worth the click.

Also seen around and about is the trendy period as a separator:
555.123.4567
Use of the period in this fashion generally coincide with a fixation on 1st person shooter games and a lack of sexual function in males.

My guess at the reason - there are no ( or ) on the numeric keypad, which is where most phone numbers get typed nowadays.
