There are many ways to say numbers. In the US, our phone numbers are usually 7 digits. The first 3 are separate from the last 4.
987-6544
IMO, the most common method is to pronounce each number with a pause after the first 3: 9-8-7...6-5-4-4
The second most common is the pronounce the last four as two two-digit numbers. 9-8-7...sixty-five forty-four.
Some may say double 4, but it isn't common.
