IBM Melbourne could produce figures contact needs (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

mobile number

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'figures contact needs' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'ibm melbourne could produce' is the wordplay.
'could produce' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'ibm'+'melbourne'='ibmmelbourne'
'ibmmelbourne' is an anagram of 'MOBILE NUMBER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
