  if bigint is an issue, can nvarchar be used for the telephone number?

  Thanks

  varchar would be a better choice. I highly doubt you will ever need to store unicode characters in telephone numbers.

  we use varchars here;

  we get a lot of data like "1-888-555-1212 ext 223"; our users prefer to have a single field where they can include the extension instead of a separate optional field.
