Mobile Phones
Mobile phones use the same area codes as landline telephones, but the number begins with a "15", added to a string of 6, 7 or 8 digits, just as described above. After the "15", the remainder of the number can start with a 3, a 4, a 5 or a 6. This "15" may be dropped when a call is made to a mobile phone in a different code area. And when sending text messages, the receiver's number is best dialled both without the "15" and with the long distance code, even if both sender and receiver share a code area, but without the initial "0".
To sum up, given the mobile phone (011) 154-123-4567, you will call it by dialling:
- 154-123-4567 (within the same code area),
- (011) 4-123-4567 (from a different code area, including or omitting the 15),
And you will send messages to:
- 11 4-123-4567 (even when your phone has also a 011 number).

Famous quotes containing the word mobile:
“From three to six months, most babies have settled down enough to be fun but aren’t mobile enough to be getting into trouble. This is the time to pay some attention to your relationship again. Otherwise, you may spend the entire postpartum year thinking you married the wrong person and overlooking the obvious—that parenthood can create rough spots even in the smoothest marriage.”
—Anne Cassidy (20th century)
