Alas, I do not know the answer to this, but I'm hoping someone does--

is there a canonical (if not official) name for the low-order four
digits of a telephone number? I would suppose that the high-order
three (which used to have picturesque names) are still referred to
as the "exchange," but I've never heard anyone call the low-order
digits anything.

Responses summarized after a plausible delay...
