       did you know that an average australian phone number is formatted like so: 03 4104 1111the "0" means inside the country (as opposed to +), the 3 selects the state, then a four-digit area/city code and four random digitssince mobiles don't have area codes, they all get assigned to an imaginary state (04), but for no apparent reason the numbers are grouped 2-3-3 instead of 0-4-4as in 0401 420 669

       @quarky in the US mobiles all get area codes just like landlines. since there's a legal right to keep your number no matter where you move or how many times you switch networks, you can usually identify someone's hometown from the first three digits of their number -- e.g. native Seattlites have 206 numbers but i was from out of town so mine was 541

       @quarky Wait, hold on hold on. You have state, then an area code, then FOUR random digits?? You can only have 10000 unique numbers in an area??
