Yes. I put the number in quotes and use hyphens: "312-555-1212"

There are sites that come up and are very helpful, where people post
their experiences with the caller from that number and give info as to
what sort of business or whatever it is. Some even post verbatim
transcripts of conversations. Often it's telemarketers or scammers who
are either incomprehensible or rude. I appreciate these sites and
their posts, because they help me know whether I'm ignoring a call I
shouldn't ignore, yet I needn't actually answer the bad ones.
Generally, though, if I don't recognize the number or can't figure it
out quickly, I wait for a voice mail message.
