Quick Question-Vodafone UK Mobile - How many digits in number?
Quick question - I had a "missed call" from the UK this morning and I am trying to call back but my caller ID (t-mobile) shows what I believe to be too few digits? e.g. +44 7 919 XXXX
I thought mobile numbers were 9 digits long in the UK - am I right? e.g. the above number should be +44 7 919 XXXX YY.
If so, anybody also know why T-Mobile is chopping off numbers in the Caller ID? Anybdy have the same experience?
Thanks

Welcome to FT oraya,
Your post is a bit unclear though.
+44 is just the international dialling code number for the UK. Mobile message centres are numbers set by each of the carriers. They follow the same sequence as a normal mobile phone number ie: 07xxx yyyzzz or +44 7xxx yyyzzz.
