Default Help needed please

Hi all,
i would like to make a phone book in excel a data validation
constraint i want is in some rows to insert numbers only no text
allowed, and at the same time i want those numbers to be treated as
text to prohibit their calculation, i tried to format as text but then
text will be accepted , i tried data validation with the is number
function, but this wouldn't prohibit the calculation , i need a mix of
those two, to stop the user entering text and in the meanwhile treat
numbers entered as text.

must have the ability of entering area codes and
international codes like (+1) or (+30)
i want the user to be able to enter any number , the + sign of course
or the "00"(when she enters 00 , the 0's must show up)
as
a valid number is like :
+306934778585
or
+9613209845
Thanks
