Default phone number dilemma

Assuming all your phone numbers are this format, then yes there is an easy
way to do this.

1. In any empty cell, enter the value: 10000000000
2. Copy that cell
3. Highlight your list of phone numbers
4. Select "Paste Special..." from the Edit Menu
5. Click the box labeled "Add" in the Operation section
6. Click "OK"
7. Delete the 10000000000 from the cell that you entered earlier.=

That should do it.

Im putting together a list and I need some assistance.
In cell A1 I have a phone number. 2125551212 for example.
I need it to look like 12125551212 - it needs to have a one in front on
it.
I have an excel list of over 20000 numbers. Is there a way to easily
put a 1 in front of all the numbers?
