megbeccaHi,
Try:
(00000) 000009;;_
Note that the format of the British Telephone number, to my knowledge can be as follows:
0121 123 1234
01905 123123
01905 12312 - Only 5 in the telephone number.
As far as I understand, the standard format for a UK telephone number is (xxxxx) xxxxxy
ie 5 character area code (STD) and a 5/6 character local number. Most local numbers are 6, however, some still survive as 5
Obviously, the larger cities like London (0207/0208), Birmingham (0121), Edinburgh (0131) etc use a 4 number STD, then a 3 number Area/Exchange Code and then a 4 number telephone number.
When I've had to deal with this, I've put the input format as above, or just left it as a text field.
Hope this helps,
Fitz
