No. It's just another example of German choosing to have a single word for something, where English uses two or more. In English I'd say "number type", but that's just my opinion - others might describe this differently. Just the word "Rufnummer" on its own is another example - "phone number". Antony. -- The North American Numbering Plan doesn't distinguish between the "number types." With portability of numbers between mobile and the decreasing number of landlines and the mobility of mobile numbers eliminating geographic identity within the U.S., there's little use for classifying them. --Don -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- Check out the new Asterisk community forum at: https://community.asterisk.org/ New to Asterisk?
