Phone numbers in the US have seven digits. A phone number rolls off with a rhythm. I'm pretty comfortable with that rhythm - I've had it my whole life (though with cell phones now, we have a ten digit rhythm, often, but it's still a comfortable rhythm for me).
In Singapore we have eight digits. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say 01-23-45-67 or 0123-4567 or 01-234-567. I don't know the rhythm, and I think that different people say them different ways. Eight digits is just too much.
