mobile numbers

Portable phone contacts

Mobile numbers are telephone numbers assigned to cellular phones rather than landlines.

The term is more common in British English, where Americans typically say cell numbers.

Unlike landline numbers tied to physical addresses, mobile numbers travel with the person: I'll text you my mobile number.
