Try this formula in cell D1:

=IF(AND(ISERROR(MATCH(C1,A$1:A$10000,0)),ISERROR(M ATCH(C1,B$1:B$10000,0))),"no","yes")

Change the 10000 to be at least as high as you have numbers in column
A and B respectively.
Copy this formula down as many rows as you have phone numbers in
column C.

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

Try this...

=IF(COUNTIF(A:B,C1),"Yes","No")

Copy down as needed
