That is still not returning unicode from the unicode method. When you
return a non unicode object, you should do something like this:
def __unicode__(self):
return unicode(self.phonenumber)
Also, as Shawn said, you should use a CharField for your phone number
field. If you are collecting phone numbers for a specific country,
there are localized form fields for certain countries to ensure users
enter the data in the correct format - nothing worse than 'sdffdhj'
being allowed as a phone number!
