Some telephone numbers starts with number 0 (zero) or the country code with + marks (If you type the full number properly). For instance a number like 0094111234567 or +94111234567. If this number is stored under the "Number" data type, two things can happen.

1. Default "Number" field does not support this size of data. You have to change the Filed Size to "Double" in order to accommodate this telephone number.

2. Zero (0) in the front will get removed automatically!

So To prevent these issues you can use the data type as "Text"

Hope this Helps!

What are advantages and disadvantages of POP vs IMAP?

POP (Post Office Protocol) allows users to download emails from a server to their local device, which can be advantageous for offline access and storage savings on the server. However, it limits access to emails from multiple devices, as messages are often deleted from the server after downloading. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), on the other hand, syncs emails across all devices, making it easier to manage messages from anywhere. The downside is that it requires continuous internet access and may consume more server space since emails remain stored on the server.
