The comment on “reducing wear” also carries plausibility – Another colonial world view inherited where keeping costs down as young colonies (and equipment) are expensive – In the early days of dialling and placing own calls, your subscriber number could be anywhere between 1 and 5 or 6 digits (by that logic, less numbers dialled, less wear on the dial, right?)
