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.

Difference between number and text type field in ms access?
This is true in any database (Access, Oracle). A number field is technically called a "NUMERIC" field. Only numbers can be inserted into a field that has this designator. A text field is for characters or numbers. It can be a "CHAR" (character), a VARCHAR (characters or numbers). It's basically a way of putting rules on columns--what type of data belongs there.

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.
