I just learned that the only reason phone numbers have hyphens is because that makes them easier to remember. They have no technical significance.

yep! and why 7 numbers? "Countless psychological experiments have shown that, on average, the longest sequence a normal person can recall on the fly contains about seven items. " abcnews.go.com/amp/Technology…
Sure, kind of. But also, no, not really. Back in the day - the area code would get you into the correct interconnecting office. The prefix would get you into the local central office. The number - was your number. That's the line you had at the local central office
Not true. The first three numbers of the seven were the exchange. Watch an old time movie, the exchange name was even used back then.
No. They do have significance. However, that can vary by region. In North America the first 3 digits represent an area code. The next 3 are a further subdivision and the last 4 are an identifying number. However, this has become more complex with VoIP, etc.
The fact that a tweet like this has generated even a mild amount of controversy is why everyone both loves and hates Twitter.
