Problem with SED

Hi,

I have to use SED to remove the prefix "219-" from a text file containing phone numbers and I have to remove the ":" as well. I write the following code but it does not seem to work. Can someone help me please?

Code:
mohit@mohit-desktop:~$ sed  -n s/219-/" "/p corp_phones_bak > noprefix1
mohit@mohit-desktop:~$ sed  -n s/:/" "/p noprefix1> noprefix
mohit@mohit-desktop:~$ cat no prefix
cat: no: No such file or directory
cat: prefix: No such file or directory
mohit@mohit-desktop:~$ cat noprefix
