A number field will not accept text. If it does accept text, then it cannot be a number field. Text fields can accept digits, but number fields cannot accept other text. They will only accept digits and other numeric components, like a decimal point for example. Sometimes you will define a field for numbers, such as phone number or code numbers to be text fields. In fact, that is what you should do for that type of data. You never do calculations with phone numbers, like adding them or getting averages, so they can be stored in text fields, as there is no need for them to be stored in number fields. Also, a zero at the start of a phone number, would disappear if entered into a number field, and it would also not allow things like spaces or brackets.

What is the data type for a telephone number field?
It is a text type. There are a number of reasons why you do not use a number type. Most phone numbers in their full form start with a zero. If entered into a number field, the zero would be dropped. Number fields do not allow spaces or other characters, such as hyphens or brackets, that are often used when entering phone numbers. Although they are numbers, you never do calculations on phone numbers, like adding or multiplying or getting averages. So no numerical operations are carried out.

What are the Access data types and how they are used?
In Access and in databases in general each field in a database table is of a certain data type. The data type determines what type of data a field can hold. A field of the text data type can hold text, a field of the number data type can hold numbers and a field of the data/time data type can hold date and time values.Access actively checks what type of data is entered into a field and Access will disallow the entry of data into a field that doesn't conform to the field's data type. Access won't allow you to put text into a field of the Number data type, for example.So, data types are a way to restrict the entry of data into a field. Internally, the database uses different strategies for the storage and retrieval of different data types.
If you do not enter a value for a field what value do the field have?
