That's the identifier. The identifier is not the whole number as above. The identifier has been decoupled from the access mechanism and endpoint of the service (the telephone number). It can be used with a web interface. The identifier is not an opaque entity which happens to also include addressing information. The bank never told you that the whole number above is your bank account. Once you called the number, you had to type the identifier of your account because that's what the particular protocol defined... after the address type '#' and then your bank account number. You have to participate in a specialised interaction. Address != identifier! Regards, .savas.
