If only the first digit can't be '1', then try this modification of your regular expression:

var phonepat=/^[\s()+-]*[02-9][\s()+-]*([0-9][\s()+-]*){6,11}$/;

However, even if that works, it's going to be very crude. It would accept a phone number beginning with ')' for example.

To come up with something better, we'd need to understand all possible combinations that could occur.
