Those short numbers on the cell phone log may be numbers that denote something other than straight text or phone calls that you send to someone’s phone. They may be email sent, email received, plain pictures and pictures that you can write text on that are sent and received. Apparently when sending an email, picture or graphic it is coded differently than plain text and phone calls and the information is separated and sent via different code and then remerged back together again before dumping into your phone. So this types of data that would include more than just words and in a differnet format is handled the same way phone calls are but coded another way. The phone has to what goes where and how to put it back together again or the phone has to know how to recieve that type of data so it knows where to put it in your phone; your email box, your text box, or you phone call box. The numbers that are short may have some type of binary code that does not print out on the report.
Complicated, my eyes glazed over after about 3 minuets into my son explaining to me or lets say trying to explain it to me. So from what I can tell:
The regular phone numbers are 11 digits long...1 + area code + city + last 4. Then there are some numbers that are only 8 digits long, 7 digits, 2 digits and 1 digit.
Since he did not deal with commercial phone networking he cannot tell me which is which.
GRrrr that is want I wanted to know. I may try and call my Brother-n-law. He invents all of this wireless bridge thingy doodles that let different things ‘talk’ to each other techno mumble jumble stuff and see if he can bring himself down to my level long enough to help me out with this.
As far as that one number that is 12 digits. 1-480-212-457807 [I added the dashes where they would go] Mexico uses 12 digit numbers. They have 6 numbers at the end where we have 4. If Casey thought she could call by just adding a 1 in front of the area code just like you do anywhere here in the country the balance of that number would fit how Mexico has there phone system. She would have to have used Mexico's country code to make that number work.
This is just a guess on my part. This may be another internal type of networking number that just happens to be longer or something else all together different.
