Make the fields varchar, rather than numeric.

Subject: [NOVICE] phone number list

I have a db that contains phone numbers

The data that get inserted looks like this

425 555 1212

I have a script that inserts that into the DB, the problem is that
sometimes the suffix might start with a 0 and is getting truncated.

so

425 555 0212

ends up being

425 555 212. How can I fix this?
