Definition
号码 (hàomǎ) refers to a specific sequence of digits used for identification, such as a phone number or room number. It is more specific than 号 (hào), which can also mean size, date, or a number in general; in many contexts (e.g., 电话号 vs 电话号码) they overlap, but 号码 emphasizes the exact digital string.
