Abbreviated Address

Abbreviated Address is an address that has fewer characters than the full address, usually for special communications and other services or for certain users. Examples of abbreviated addresses are (A) a four-digit telephone number for a user calling another user connected to the same switching exchange, and (B) message addresses that have only the addressee name and station code or number.
