Looks like the phone number is getting set to 2^31-1, which might
happen if the data type of the column isn''t big enough to hold the
value 8888888888 (personally I keep things like phone numbers as
strings - although it''s called a ''phone number''
it''s not really a
number in that things like leading zeroes, punctuation (eg # to select
someone''s extension) are often significant).

Please check if there is attr_accessible on your model.
Add :phone on attr_accessible.
