Citation?

I think it’s just as easy to claim (and I certainly would bet that) most people’s phone numbers do not change frequently - I’d wager on something like 70% remain the same for 5+ years.

Curious / interested to be proven wrong though?

My phone numer has literally never changed (going 20+ years now). Perhaps it's different in the US somehow (e.g people use their work number for private purposes too), but in my experience private numbers tend to remain the same.

Not different here. My guess is that it only applies to people who never have a personal phone and only use work phones.
