Is there a space, if so it is wrong.

[eranga262154]

You can't start with 0.

And also, maximum value of int is 232 - 1. You exceeded that limit in int type.

In long type use postfix 'L' to indicate it is a long value.

Telephone numbers are strings not integers

Ya, if you want to add it with zero and space, better to make them as Strings.
