Karl,
Before ruling out coincidences, consider this: A few days ago I abandoned a
phone number I was using for my smart phone service and activated a simple
landline phone. The old number and the new number were assigned by the
phone companies involved, the former by Verizon Wireless, and the latter by
Verizon.
It turns out that both numbers are ten didits long, including the area
code, and they are also both prime numbers. What is the probability of
finding two prime numbers by chance from among the ten digit integers?
