I believe that the storing of the phone numbers would fall under the 
"display agnostic" theory as noted in the PHundamentals article on 
storing and retrieving data. Besides, by storing just the numbers (as 
strings, of course) means you can display it using hyphens or with 
parens or whatever may be needed.
