You're running into the maximum value for a 32 bit integer within a database. Try switching to a django BigIntegerField if you need to store values that large. Using your stated examples:

models.py

contact_no = models.BigIntegerField()

views.py

number = 97391111111
data = Profile( contact_no = number )
data.save()

Having said that, are you sure you're using the correct field type? If this is a phone number (as the field name suggests), do your requirements allow for you to be country specific? If so, you might want to try the localflavor app to validate and store these values appropriately.
