Half Off Topic Questions
Hi Group,
we’re just wondering, in German we call the different types of phone-numbers (Geographic,mobile,national,VoIP…)
Rufnummerngassen (phone number alleys 😉 )
Is there an english word for this?

No.
It’s just another example of German choosing to have a single word for something, where English uses two or more.
In English I’d say “number type”, but that’s just my opinion – others might describe this differently.
Just the word “Rufnummer” on its own is another example – “phone number”.

I’d call it something like “breakout type”, but a more literal
“extension (type) path” might also convey the idea.
