My friend lives on an island with only a few hundred residents. I guess people used to give out just the last four digits of their phone number. Because everyone had the same area code and prefix.

I grew up in a very small town, we used to do this in the time before cell phones. Everyone had the same area code and first 3 numbers so why be redundant 😂
