About to get some ice cream, head back home, shower, clean up office
and then get some posts out. Am completely swamped! But having a whale
of a time.
Outside a shop which still displays its phone number as 7 digits long.
The tokyo phone numbers are currently10 digits if you include the area
code - and mobile phones have11 digits. Anybody have more digits to
their phone number?

theres also 778 instead of 604 for cell phones and newer numbers i think
Terrorist ? =)
Is 778 only limited to cell phones ? I just thought those are the "newer" numbers, so if you get a new line for your house right now, you can get a 778. Or so i thought.
it started with 778 only being for cell phone numbers, but now its any phone number within out area.

It's been 11 here in the LA area for the longest time. Plus they keep adding new area codes. I'm sure there is a plot to make it 12 or 13 numbers in the near future.
All round good guy and musician
Same here in the UK. I remember when a phone number used to be a two-digit area code followed by four-digit number.

In France the good thing is that we have 10 digits but the first one is always 0. It begins with 01 in the Paris area. So classy !
The time of telephone operators is gone now. My late great grand mother (who lived more than a 100 years and she japanese !) used to work at the telecommunication office where she pluged and unpluged cables all the day.

US numbers are only 10 most of the time, since the leading one is assumed on an American phone. God forbid if you want to call another country, though; international calls can run into the 30 digit range depending on the country.

9 digits here, without country code. It applies for both, cellphones and landlines.
Wage Slave
11 here currently for both mobile and land line numbers That's before country code (although that does only add one number as we then loose the leading zero off the normal number)
Student
UK has 11 - the first two are always 01 or 02 for landlines and 07 for mobiles. No idea what 03-06 and 08 and 09 are used for.
The next three are your area code, which is 452 for Gloucester and 162 for Leicester and so on.
Then the next six numbers are your actual phone number. If you're in the same area code you can dial just this number.
If you're adding the country code on, same as with every country, you take off the leading 0 and add +countrycode, which is 44 for the UK. To dial the + you actually dial 00, so to dial a number in the UK from the US you'd actually have to dial:
00441234123456
...which is quite a mouthful!

If you know your Japanese, here's a great page listing all the phonewords in Japanese, that is, phone numbers that pun with meaning so that it's easier to memorize. Not unlike those 1-800-DANNYCHOO numbers you see in the US.

Simply guess what number the quote is related to, and then highlight the blank space to reveal whether you've guessed the phone number correctly.
Needless to say, you need to have some knowledge of the onyomi and kunyomi of some of the kanji, as these relate to the onyomi and kunyomi of the numbers, and they're used very interchangeably.
Some are straightforward:
白い歯 (Shiroi ha - white teeth)= 4618 (shi-ro-i-ha) - Dental hospital
Though others are really stretching it:
魅力な投資 (Miryokuna toushi - charming investment) = 367104 (mi-ryoku-na-tou-shi) ("tou" covers 2 numbers, representing the number 10) - Investment firm
