Solution 1

You have taken int type column in database.
and you providing no as '1234567890' which is bigger than size of int.
i will prefer to change that column int type to decimal(12,0) or if you want to add signs then
make that as nvarchar(12)

You shouldn't overflow an int in .NET or SQL Server with that "phone number" - an int can hold any number between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647.
Access however has a smaller range, so it depends on your DB.

However, a phone number should not be stored in a numeric field: you can't do arithmetic with it (What is "Your phone number" plus "My phone number"? - rubbish, that's what!)
And if you use a numeric field you lose leading zeros, international symbols and optional brackets / extension numbers.

Use a string based store for phone numbers - that why the data is preserved exactly as the user gave it to you!
