What value is it giving you? Does it say undefined? Also, don't use double negatives.

if ($('#contact-container #contact-phone').length() === 10) {
	contact.message += 'Phone no should be of 10 digit. ';
}

//however I think you actually meant this
if ($('#contact-container #contact-phone').length() !== 10) {
	contact.message += 'Phone no should be of 10 digit. ';
}
