Display same custom error message for any string type error [ EXPRESS + JOI ]

Question

I have a two fields phone field and phoneCode field. I'm using "@hapi/joi" 16.1.8 version along with expressjs.

For custom error message I used .messages() method instead of .error() because its smiply straight foreward. This is the code I tried to validate with the Joi system:

const data = { phone, phoneCode };
const schema = Joi.object({
    phone: Joi.string().pattern(/^[0-9]{10}$/).required().messages({
        "string.base": "Sorry! It looks like something went wrong. Please try later.",
        "string.pattern.base": "Phone number must be a 10 digits number.",
        "string.empty": "Phone Number is not allowed to be empty."
    }),
    phoneCode: Joi.string().max(3).required().messages({ 
        "number": "Want to send default message if any error" 
    })
});

let validate = schema.validate(data, { abortEarly: false });

I wanted to send only one default message whenerver error occoured in phoneCode keys. I also tried

"number.*": "Want to send default message if any error"
  OR
Joi.string().max(3).required().message("Want to send default message if any error") // It give Error: Cannot apply rules to empty ruleset
  OR
phoneCode: Joi.string().max(3).message("Want to send default message if any error" ).required() // This worked upto a limit, not working if i sent phoneCode empty.

This is how I achieved the custom error message in JOI. Simply get the message from validate object. Its simple and working good.

const data = { phone, phoneCode };
const schema = Joi.object({
    phone: Joi.string().pattern(/^[0-9]{10}$/).required().messages({
        "string.base": "Sorry! It looks like something went wrong. Please try later",
        "string.pattern.base": "Phone number must be a 10 digits number",
        "string.empty": "Phone Number is not allowed to be empty",
        "any.required": "Phone Number is required"
    }),
    phoneCode: Joi.string().max(3).required().messages({ 
        "string.base": "Phone code must be valid",
        "string.empty": "Phone code must be valid",
        "string.max": "Phone code must be valid",
        "any.required": "Phone code must be valid"
    })
});

let validate = schema.validate(data);

if (!validate || validate.hasOwnProperty("error")) {
   console.error(`[URL: ${req.originalUrl}] [ERROR:${JSON.stringify(validate.error.details)}]`);
   return SendResponse.sendErrorMessage(res, validate.error.details[0].message);
}
