For non-US databases, the phone field will need to be at least 15 (my UK mobile and domestic is 11, many UK domestics are longer, some UK businesses have additional ~4 extension numbers on the end as well!)

Non-US postcodes vary considerably in both length and format.

(You said you wanted international information as well).
