How do I fix the 'Out of range value adjusted for column' error?

mysql, range

Solution

The value you were trying to set is too large for a signed `INT` field. The display width `(15)` does not affect the range of values that can be stored, only how the value is displayed.

Ref: MySQL Docs on numerics

On phone numbers - see Is it better to store telephone numbers in some canonical format or "as entered"?

Problem

I went into phpMyAdmin and changed the value for an integer(15)field to a 10-digit number, so everything should work fine. I entered the value '4085628851' and I am receiving the following error: Warning: #1264 Out of range value adjusted for column 'phone' at row 1 It then changes the value to '2147483647'. After some googling, I found this article that explains how to fix the problem. http://webomania.wordpress.com/2006/10/01/out-of-range-value-adjusted-for-column-error/, but I don't know how to login to the Mysql shell. How do I login to the Mysql shell? How do I fix this error?
