    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.
