Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications)
German term or phrase: Hauptrufnummer
"Der Bestätigungscode dient in Verbindung mit der jeweiligen Hauptrufnummer der eindeutigen Identifizierung hinsichtlich der erfolgten Information zu den mit einer bestimmten SIM-Karte verbundenen Rufnummern" is the sentence.
I am wondering what Hauptrufnummer could be? Is it a direct number?

English translation:main (phone) number
Explanation:
I would say it's just the main phone number. Usually, Hauptrufnummer is the general number you dial for a place, without any extensions. In that sense, I would say it is not a direct line.
