Validator Not functioning

Need Help
1

So I have the following… I have a form field mobilePhone that I am trying to validate into an e164 compliant phone number. When I add a user or edit an existing user it never runs this code and tries to validate it. What gives? Any thoughts would be awesome! Ive been stumped for hours…

    $validator
        ->add('mobilePhone', 'checkPhone',[
            'rule' => 'checkPhone',
            'provider' => 'table',
            'message' => 'Please enter a valid phone number in this format: +14345551212'
        ]);


public function checkPhone($value, array $context){
    debug($value);
    return (\Cake\Validation\Validation::custom($value, '/^\+?[1-9]\d{1,14}$/i'));
}

First check your field name for mobilePhone. Then try to debug $user if the entity holds in this variable or variable defined by you after doing patchEntity. Also you can check in entity that is it accessible or not!
