Has anybody tried phoning the number?

Seen the number? + 23 417 238 107.

Funny that if that was 1 number different, it would have been +23 419...

No, I meant 1 number as in changing 1 character, not 1 number as in adding 1 to one of the numbers.

If one was to strictly apply your implied algorithm then it would be 2 million numbers different.
