You can use a string (set of characters) or longinteger (for a very long number).

Use text or string type for phone numbers. If you use any form of numerical type you will be unable to leave spaces, you will lose the leading zero, you may get it converted to floating point (real) notation.

If you need the var for computations, use a longint, if you don't need to do computations on it and just need to store info like a tel# then use string.
