Best Answer

The United States used a similar but slightly different variation. New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago first used the 3L-4N system (example DEAnsgate 3414 - the number for Kendals department store); but replaced that with the so-called "2-5 numbers" or 2L-5D, two letters and five digits (for example a number on the Pennsylvania exchange would be shown as PEnnsylvania 6-5000). This became the North American standard as customer-dialed long distance service (Direct Distance Dialing) came into use through the 1950s.

Do all foreign phone numbers have 10 digits like US numbers do?

No! The number of digits varies by country, and may vary within a country. International standards restrict the total phone number length including country code to 15 digits maximum (which would be 11 digits for the US and Canada including our country code +1), but what happens after the country code is up to that country. 10-digit and 9-digit phone numbers within a country are common. Smaller countries may have fewer digits: Iceland has 7-digit numbers. China uses 10 digits for landlines but 11 digits for mobile phones; it is effectively in a slow migration to 11 digits. Germany until a few years ago had variable length numbers from 7 to 12 digits, the subscriber (local) part being as short as 4 digits for old numbers and longer for new numbers, but since 2010 uses 10 or 11 digits total. Most countries use 2-digit area codes (with 7 or 8-digit local subscriber numbers), but that varies too, with some using 3 or 4-digit area codes. The UK uses a variable length area code: Even though UK phone numbers are 10 digits almost everywhere (9 digits for certain old numbers), the city code portion can be from 2 to 6 digits, so that large cities have a 2-digit city code and 8-digit local portion, while smaller towns have longer city codes and shorter local numbers.

Which data type in your Access table would be best for a field that stores telephone numbers?

Although a lot of people will think number, the correct answer is text. There are a number of reasons for that. Most phone numbers start with zero, but zero will be dropped if it is at the start of a number. Phone numbers often have spaces and other non-numeric characters in them. You never do calculations with phone numbers, like adding them together or finding an average phone number, so there is no need for them to be numerical. So phone numbers and any other sort of identifying number, like code numbers or reference numbers, are normally stored as text.
