Good question: "my telephone-number" vs. "my-telephone's number"? I like the latter.

>snail mail "address" for that matter?
We've long used {Quv} on the List. E.g. *{De'wI' Quv} "website, URL" (DloraH), *{jabbI'ID Quv} "e-mail address" (ghunchu'wI').
{Quv} "coordinates" in canon:

>I don't think {SoQ} is applicable here, and there is no word for "street".
You're right. {SoQ} is a spoken address in the sense of a speech, lecture, etc. BTW, the idiom is {SoQ Dajatlh} "you speak an address/lecture", "you deliver an address", "you make a speech":
