While it’s easy to remember, doesn’t that mean anyone with my cellphone number can make changes to my flight? That was just weird.
I think OZ uses Amadeus as Res system but has its own host system (I think IBM Res3 based). The 8 digit number is host reservation number.

This is not something unique only to OZ, e.g. IB has the same arrangement - Amadeus as Res system but Resiber as host/check-in system.
