Chances aren't really that far off, actually. Yeah you have 7 digit phone numbers (minus area code) but for cell phone use, there's only a few different first-3 digits. So, the variation happens in the last 4 digits, and assuming you have a similar chance of getting each digit, the chance of having the same didgits (4-6, inclusive) is (1/1000 x probability of the first 3 digits)
Now I don't know how many variations there are to cell phone numbers, but assuming its 20,
1/1000 x 1/20 = 1/20,000
