Area code first, the next three numbers are the exchange for a service area, and the last four are for your particular phone.

United States

Country Code+1+ a 3-digit Area Code plus 3-digit Exchange plus a 4-digit "personal number".

If calling within the country, you don't need the country code. So, long distance would be:

1-555-555-5555

Local calls drop the "1".

Other countries

All countries have a country code.

Which data type is better to use for storing phone number in the following format 977-1-1234567?

Phone numbers should always be stored in a text format and never as in a number field. There are several of reasons for this. You never do calculations with phone numbers; you may have a zero at the start of a phone number, which would disappear if left in a number format and you may, as in this case, have other characters in a phone number that are not digits, which would not be accepted in a number format.

How do you stop the zero at the start of a phone number being deleted in a Excel spreadsheet?

If it's just a phone number it will never be used in calculations so you need to format the cells as Text. Either select the entire column or row that is going to contain the phone numbers before you enter anything and format it as text - Format... Cells menu or type an apostrophe (') before each phone number as you type it.Please note that, while this is a good system for phone numbers, it is a very bad system for any numbers that may be used in calculations because they are no longer numbers, but text strings. If you need to have leading zeroes before any number you will have to use the "Format Cells" option. In the "Number" tab go to the "Custom" option (It is usually the last on the list). Type "0## #### ####" OR whatever numbers you require. In the above format, if you enter the number 1234567890, it will display as "012 3456 7890". (You can use the data as numbers if you want to also)

What does Excel treats phone numbers and social security numbers as?

Initially it may treat them as numbers, but ideally they should be treated as text. This is because they are not like ordinary numbers as they may start with zero or have other characters in them or have spaces in them. Also, you will never want to do any calculations with them, so they do not need to be treated as ordinary numbers. For example, you would never multiply one phone number by another number. To ensure they are treated as text, you can format them to the Text format or put a single quote before them like this: '0001556
