Custom format for credit card number

I created a custom format for credit card numbers using XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
But when I key a number into the formatted cell, the last (rightmost) digit converts to zero.

So when I enter, for example, 5511246190465589 the cell displays 5511-2461-9046-5580.

Any ideas?

Precede the credit card number with an apostrophe ('). This will
not show up in the cell, but will display in the formula bar.
