Django has an inbuilt Model field called BigIntegerField, but it does not have a corresponding Form field, and there is only an IntegerField available for use with forms. Is there any problem with this mismatch? That is using BigIntegerField in the model and IntegerField for the model form.

I want to store phone numbers in these fields (10-digits), so the IntegerField Model class cannot store all positive 10-digit values as it is only up to 2147483647.

Why storing phone numbers in a integer field? Why not charfield. – durdenk Aug 08 '17 at 06:30

@durdenk I want the input to be limited to numbers and use default django backend validation to exclude characters. – Rithwik Aug 08 '17 at 07:32
