In the Netherlands and France it's often translated as such.

Idk about the Netherlands, but the French one is absolutely not used for random identification - it's only purposes are taxes, health insurance/care, and pensions, so the only institutions who know it and can ask for it are related government things, your employer and medical staff.

So a mobile operator having your social security number would be extremely weird.
