using a colon (with a phone number)

A student wrote the following sentence: If you have any questions you can contact me at the following number. 519-111-1111

The punctuation separating the word number and the actual phone number; should it be a colon? (If you have any questions you can contact me at the following number: 519-111-1111)

Thanks kindly!
