--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> ---
Phone "numbers" are not numbers (amounts used to calculate). Thus, the cells
where phone numbers (and other identifiers, possibly resembling numbers) are
stored, must be pre-formatted as text; or the identifiers must be entered with
leading apostrophe ('). Importing from CSV must also set the data type for the
columns with such identifiers as text.
To emphasize the importance, and show that it is not just a cosmetic issue or a
nitpicking: for identifiers longer than 15 digits, it is simply impossible to
store all the digits in a numeric data; so unless one properly imports/enters
these digits as text, an identifier like 1234567890123456789 will be rounded to
1234567890123460000, loosing the last digits irreversibly.
