Hi,

As someone who is drunk and does not own a mobile phone, I wonder why
people choose a variety of bizarre ways of expressing their mobile
telephone numbers. Why not represent them as "04 2297 8315" (i.e. two
sets of 4-digit numbers with a two-digit prefix) like our local numbers.
I realise that our local number have gone through a number of changes
over the decades (i.e. increasing length), but still...

PS. Yes, I realise that the carrier prefix is three digits, but
nevertheless the mobile prefix itself is the two-digit "04"
moniker, right?
