[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 504833, member: 250"] Simple answer to your question.. 11 digits is a max No of combinations of 99,999,999,999 Or in simple terms.. well over 90 thousand million.. (which can be known a 90 billion, But billion can also be a million million!!) Anyway you then have to remember that every phone number also has its country code prefix, where you also drop the first zero.. so technically a mobile number such as 07123 456789.. is actually +44 7123 456789 with its correct country code.. Therefore each country has 9billion number combinations to play around with for their population.. and according to the internet the world has a population of just under 8billion.. [URL="https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/"]https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/[/URL] Each mobile provider has multiple groups of 999,999 number to play with.. depending upon how many prefix codes they own..
