It is not possible to index the telephoneNumber attribute.
Starting with the following in slapd.conf:

index telephoneNumber pres,eq,sub

Then indexing with slapadd fails with:

/usr/local/ldap-2.0/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 19: equality index of 
attribute "telephoneNumber"
disallowed/usr/local/ldap-2.0/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 19: equality index
of  attribute "telephoneNumber" disallowed

If "eq" is removed, leaving "pres,sub" then the result becomes:

/usr/local/ldap-2.0/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 19: substr index of  attribute
"telephoneNumber" disallowed/usr/local/ldap-2.0/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line
19: substr index of  attribute "telephoneNumber" disallowed

Thus only "pres" is allowed.

core.schema gives the syntax:

attributetype ( 2.5.4.20 NAME 'telephoneNumber'
        EQUALITY telephoneNumberMatch
        SUBSTR telephoneNumberSubstringsMatch
        SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.50{32} )

telephoneNumberSubstringsMatch is defined in
servers/slapd/schema_init.cservers/slapd/schema_init.c
like this:

#define telephoneNumberSubstringsMatch  caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch

So it should work?
