There are different formats in which forms present you with a way to input your phone number. Some have a 3-digit field between parenthesis for the area code, a second 3-digit field and finally a third 4-digit field. Some coders like to record the dashes and the parenthesis, like this: (123) 456-7890 or 123-456-7890 or simply 456-7890 Let’s say you recorded the phone number using the format that uses parenthesis. You have hundreds, maybe even thousands of records. Now imagine your boss now wants to display dashes and no parenthesis; or a client changes his mind and wants to display spaces instead of dashes or parenthesis. You can see you will have a complicated depuration process ahead.
