The group posted to and the phrase "get to know" suggests that
bit-naughty is looking for client-side code to discover a number, not
have a number explicitly presented in HTML.  What number is explained by
the phrase "of that cellphone".  (I don't know the answer so all I can
do is clarify the question.)
