Hi, Solr/Lucene can treat phone numbers as strings. If you want to clean them up and normalize them outside of Solr, you can do that and feed them into Solr as pure numbers.
How the phone numbers will be treated after you pump them into Solr depends on the analyzer you choose to use for this data. If you don't need to search on subsets of phone numbers, then just don't tokenize them (i.e. use string type if the phone numbers contain any non-numeric characters, sint otherwise).
