This table is essentially useless
[edit](I have many decades of experience in the field. I was the telephone regulations compliance officer for the first digital business phone mfg, ROLM.)
This table provides misleadingly useless information. I recommend at least a cautionary note with it.
Why? Because, depending on the local situation in a nation or region, the data here may mean VERY different things.
In many parts of the world, a separate number is allocated to each SIM card!
- So, in the US, a typical phone has one SIM card, never changed. One number per phone.
- In another nation, a typical business person may have one phone and a whole pocket full of SIM cards, one for each city they often visit! 10, 20, even 50 numbers per phone.
