Default I can't get automatic brackets () around my phone numbers.

i type in a number 1234567890 and the brackets and dash don't show up. i have
to go back in and put the brackets around the area code and then when i tab
out or move to another field the dash shows up and the number is formatted
correctly. any ideas as to how to turn the auto feature (parsing phone
numbers) back on?
