Personally, I would just create a custom Form for that validation logic then store the number in some generic Model Field (like IntegerField). You can write a method in your model to format that integer as a telephone number for display purposes using __string__ or other similar methods. Just convert to a unicode object and go right-to-left, adding hyphenation, parenthesis, etc... as needed. Also, check out the Model Fields LocalFlavor stuff, there *may* be a telephone number field already? I know there are address fields. I'd look for you, but I got to get back to work :/ Good luck!
