How can i get ngx-mask masked value?

Question

I'm trying to create simple field for phone number with help of ngx-mask module like this:

<mat-form-field>
              <input matInput formControlName="PhoneNumber" placeholder="Phone number" mask="(000) 0000-00" prefix="+1" [showMaskTyped]="true">
</mat-form-field>

It works, but value in control PhoneNumber is 999999999. How can i save in control value with mask, ie special symbols and prefix? Basically i need to save value which user sees: [phone]

Use [dropSpecialCharacters]="false"

<mat-form-field>
   <input matInput formControlName="PhoneNumber" placeholder="Phone number" mask="(000) 0000-00" prefix="+1" [showMaskTyped]="true" [dropSpecialCharacters]="false">
</mat-form-field>
