Asking for a phone #

[Goldberg, Stuart H]

It seems that what I just wrote relates to the model, not the number.  Which raises a question:  is "u vas" substandard but heard, acceptable but eclipsed by talk of mobile phones on Google, or I am I just plain wrong?

Тема: [SEELANGS] Asking for a phone #

Hello SEELANGovtsy!

I am writing with what seems a rather basic-I ought to already know  
the answer-type of question:  I'm curious as to what is the simplest  
and most generic way to ask someone for their telephone # in Russian.   
I'll be explaining numbers to a VERY basic group of beginning Russian  
students on Thursday and having them practice reading their telephone  
numbers out is a good way to practice them in class (albeit in single  
digits and not the proper by hundreds and tens way that is actually  
done, which I will mention to them).  The proper way in textbooks  
seems to be Какой ваш номер телефона? Kakoj vash  
nomer telefona? But I seem to recall hearing more frequently Как  
ваш номер телефона? Kak vash nomer telefona? or even as  
my husband has suggested Как ваш телефон? Kak vash  
telefon?  I'd be most grateful any comments on or offline.

Thanks in advance!

Emily
