Is this completely different? In this this case, does one person's number belongs to another so that both have different phone numbers?

Thank you.

I don't understand your question, but see above for what the sentence means.

Is not above clear enough that Is this completely different=Is this situation completely different from the one in which they exchange/swap phone numbers?

Thank you.

This is because of my poor English. I will clarify what I had in mind when I write it so would you put it into one of correct and natural forms.

In this case= The sentence using the verb switch.

Does one person's number= ( I think this is clear enough) When two person is exchanging their numbers, this is one of the numbers.

Belongs to another: (Misuse of -s in the question form). Person A have number 1 and so number 1 belongs to person A. Person B have number 2 so the number 2 belongs to person B. "One person's number" in "does one person's number" refers to one of numbers 1 or 2. "Does one person's number", say 1, belongs to another, then another refers to person B, become number of person B i.e number 1 has belonged to person B after the operation.

I hope I have explained better.

Thank you.
