Why can I receive a message with 12 digits?

In daily life, the mobile phone number we usually use is 1 1 digit. But sometimes we get some short messages with 12 digits. Why? Let's discuss it below.

Virtual number

Virtual number is a kind of telephone number that can be used without actually having a telephone line, that is, virtual number can communicate through the Internet and other means. The length of the virtual number can be 1 1 or 12, so sometimes the short messages with 12 bits we receive are all from the virtual number.

International short message

International short messages refer to short messages sent across borders. Due to the different telephone numbers in different countries or regions, the length of international short messages will be different. In some countries or regions, the length of the mobile phone number may be 12 digits, so the short messages with 12 digits we sometimes receive are all from international short messages.

Operator number

Operator number refers to some special telephone numbers, which are usually used for internal communication of operators or specific business needs. The length of the operator number may be 1 1 digit, or it may be 12 digit, so the short message with 12 digit we sometimes receive is from the operator number.
