We know how important it is to keep your data consistent. Using the wrong phone number format can slow down your team when calling prospects and customers. Plus, inconsistent phone numbers can create duplicate records, cause data issues between platforms and make your phone number data challenging to use and read.

The standard American telephone number format has ten digits, where the first three digits are the “area code“ and are between ( ), while the other seven numbers are separated by -. I.e., (555) 555-1234.
