If you have a phone or/and cell phone, do you know the numbers to them?


I find it odd and funny how I know several people that don't know their own cell's number. Sometimes, people don't even know their house phone. I know mine though, but it's soo easy. (???)-689-6869

I know my numbers, and I even remember past home/cell numbers. Guess I'm just good remembering numbers.

I didn't know my cell # for a while. I don't call it so I didn't memorize it until I gave it out a few times.

Im decently good at remembering numbers but we just moved to a new house so I forget it a lot. In fact, a few weeks ago I went to the office at school to call home, picked up the phone and just... went blank for a sec. I ended up having to call my grandma and ask what my phone number was .__.

But the wierd thing is that I can remember anyone elses phone number perfectly after only hearing it once o.O;

LOL! When i was around 11 or so, when i first got my cell phone i used to not know it. And because i had memorized my mother's in any case of emergency, not thinking I some times gave hers out! ^^' I felt like a dummy for days when i realized it, then that's when i decided to try and start memorizing it. I know it right off the top of my head now. I also know my best friend's cell no. by heart ((same for her with my cell no.)), but that's only because we called each other like every day since fifth grade. And I'm in nith now, so four years straight.

i remebered it after a few days. i had to keep looking at my phone to find the number though

I don't know my cell phone number, but then again I don't give it out to anyone. I keep it to call other people, not to be called.

sa5m
12-19-2007, 03:09 PM
Of course I remember it. O_o

I guess some people can't remember it because they don't call it very often.

12-19-2007, 03:21 PM
At first I didn't but I memorized them by now.

I can never remember my cell phone number- and I've had it for about 2 or 3 years now.

12-19-2007, 03:33 PM
Im pretty good with remembering numbers...I even remember my old house number from 10 years ago. Though I only remember:

my cell number
my dads cell
my moms cell
my fiance's cell
the house number

other than those, I look them up in my contact list.

DOOM!
12-19-2007, 03:33 PM
I can remember numbers just fine. Now wen it comes to remembering what Ion, Stacy, or Dimitri wants me to get from the grocery store before i come home, that's a challenge! I can't even remember what Don told me, half an hour ago, to get for him tomorrow.

For some reason, I've been very lucky with numbers. All of the important numbers I need to memorize are incredibly easy (i.e. phone, high school and college ID, etc.)

As for phone number, the only one I have the patience to memorize is my own. And besides the purpose of a cell phone is so you don't have to remember other peoples numbers. Btw, speed dial is amazing.

KuroTan
12-19-2007, 03:41 PM
I know my own house numbers and my old cellphone numbers. New one though, I don't even want to bother. 10 digits? That's too much for me. I just save it in an entry marked "own"

Perpetual Specter
12-19-2007, 04:21 PM
I know my house number and cell number.I remember our old house number too.

I've never NOT known my phone number, or my cell.
I've never even considered forgetting them @_@

I know my number but I cannot remember anyone else's. If I don't have my cell I cannot call anyone XD

Snowscala_Xx
12-19-2007, 04:48 PM
XD that would be me i cant remenber for crap, i do remenber my cell #, but sometime when some 1 asks me i kinda freeze up and it takes a while for me to remenber T_T. @_@

smile1010
12-19-2007, 04:53 PM
I know my house phone.
And I sometimes I'd forget my cell phone.
I lost my cell phone forever, and now it doesn't matter.
But it seems I just refuse to learn my mothers cell phone number whenever I actually need her help.
Oh dear.

12-19-2007, 06:44 PM
I know my home number but not my cell, that probably has something to do with me never calling myself... Well only when I feel very lonely.

CrimsonMoon
12-19-2007, 06:57 PM
Yeah, I remember my cell number, my siblings' number, my home number and closest friends' number. It's good that my cell no. has 7 digits that're fairly easy to remember.

I never forget a number.

Hmmmm.

On Friends, Ross gets a beeper because he is about to have a baby. What is the number for his beeper?:laugh:

Lol.

I didn't know my phone number for the longest time.When i turn it off and turn it back on,it shows my phonenumebr,so iuse to have to do that when I wanted to tell people it.^^

I know my house, cell and mom's cell phone number.

12-19-2007, 08:39 PM
Wow this is a hot subject O_o I thought this was post as spam, but hey. Yeah, I know my cell phone number, my friends number (12 friends). Cousins number, house phone number (which I forgot two days ago LOL). Uhm..lets see..hmm...Well I think thats it.

Myrra
12-20-2007, 08:54 AM
I fail to see how anyone can forget their own number.
I know my numbers (I have 3) plus about a dozen other relevant or irrelevant numbers (that includes one international number that I don't often call). The rest, I've gotten into the lazy habit of using the speed dial option to call.

Darklord
12-20-2007, 09:20 AM
Yes I do know my own number and so should everyone else, well atleast one important number would do.

onigiri princess
12-20-2007, 09:29 AM
I think it's easy to remember, i remember both my mobile and home number, when you think about it it's like a tune XD, anyhow i don't know what to say to people who can't remember their own numbers though, if they can't remember they can always look it up in their cell phone, phone book, ipod (mine has it XD), it's never really a problem, it's just not coincidence or useful at times when you want to give your number to people. ^-^

Rhoswen
12-20-2007, 10:15 AM
Yeah, I remember my phone number. Both cell and home.
Also, I know a few of my friends' cell phone # by heart.
I'm quite good with memorizing numbers for a long period of time. ;)

jewel2sparkle
12-20-2007, 10:20 AM
Yeah, I know it. I'm too lazy to pull it out of my cell, so I have to know it, sometimes.

Kyokuns_true_Love
12-20-2007, 12:01 PM
O.O
Yesh. I've known all of my phone numbers. I also easily memorize all of my friend numbers. I find it shocking if people don't know their own number most of the time.

TheAsterisk!
12-20-2007, 12:14 PM
I've known my home phone number since kindergarten, and I have no cellular phone (too cheap for it). As for other numbers, it depends on how frequently I use them; I know my brother's cell phone number, but I have no idea what my grandparents' number is without looking.

I guess I've used up all my storage capacity with aircraft designations and Cold War information.

.Lovebeat
12-20-2007, 12:29 PM
I know my home number, my two friends home/cellphone numbers... but I don't know anyone else's or my own cellphone number.
I'm too lazy to memorize xD

Yes, I know my phone number and cellphone number, plus my mom and dad's. And a few friends, because those are the ones that I call every single day.

Music Fiend
12-20-2007, 03:41 PM
Lol. I had a cell phone before...actually, it was my mom's - couldn't remember the number to save my life, for a looooong time. ANd when I got my own cell phonem I didn't bother to even try remembering my own number because I thought I wasn't going to be using it as much after the first week; in fact, I was prepared to return it. But then, people started asking for my number, and I started asking for theirs. I amassed a decent list of phone numbers, and by time I got Bree's number from here (Tati), I had remembered my number perfectly. And I text or call her, and only her it turns out, daily. So, I see my number, and her's, a lot.

I have a tendency to reverse the numbers.

IE : 0422 xxx yyy => 0422 yyy xxx.

Yeah I did this to my work. They were like, "Why didn't you start at 9?" >__>

♥Maiden.Cookie♥
12-23-2007, 02:28 PM
My case is kinda different...I know my home phone number but I "believe" that I don't know it...I know my parent's phone numbers but then again the same thing as above...O_o;;;;

Bittersweet
12-23-2007, 03:05 PM
I can remember my number, and my friend's mom's number. The only reason for that is because she used to use her mom's phone before she got her own. I used to call her all the time, so I memorized the number. My number is about one digit off from my old house phone, so it was easy to memorize.

12-23-2007, 06:42 PM
You guys are aware that simply obfuscating the area code of your phone number won't keep anyone from figuring out what it is, right? Since most of you also supply roughly where you live in your user profile, and all that. I mean, each region only has -so- many area codes. And once someone has your phone number, they can pretty much find out on which street you live, and hey presto, some creep of the intertubes is stalking you.

Bottom line is, it's probably a lot smarter to simply state that you know your number, than to actually state the number (however obfuscated). Because, it really doesn't prove anything. Anyone can make up a phone number on the top of their head.

12-23-2007, 07:39 PM
hellz no I dont know my own phone number. Why in gods name would I EVER memorize something like that?!!!

12-23-2007, 08:43 PM
I know my cell nos. [I maintain more than 1 cell...LOL] and my office number. That's it. For the rest, I rely on my cell's phonebook... But I do keep a copy of my mom, bro and sis' cell nos. on my wallet for emergencies...^.~

12-24-2007, 12:49 AM
I remember my immediate family's numbers and my house number of course. If not it's always in my cell.

Weird thing is, I can't seem to remember my significant other's number.
Which is odd for me.

Elphaba
12-26-2007, 03:41 PM
most of them
if not then it is because i do not call them often.

But I don't give it online.
So you can't call me :3

I know my mobile phone number mostly but always get confused by the two last numbers as to which way around they go, I know my home number off by heart though. I'm pretty good at remembering phone numbers. ^_^

Future_Defense
01-01-2008, 05:23 PM
Back when I first moved, I was around 8 or so, I could not remember my new number. Why did I need to know it? After I got a cell phone I finally memorized my number.

01-01-2008, 05:30 PM
i know my phone number but i cant remember anyone elses lol!

Haha!! Just like me!! XD
I can remember my mom's work number...and my home phone number. That is all. I don't even know my own cell phone number!!

PanzerJager
01-01-2008, 08:57 PM
Well.. Unfortunately, like in most other threads, Eris has once again said what I was going to say..

You cant blur out the area code and then say were you live because that defeats the purpose..

The only one that I could get easily was this:

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc124/PanzerJager-/w.jpg

Ii simply googled Port Tobacco, Maryland and found that the area code is 301..

With that I now know that her(and maybe his) number is 301-993-6050.. With that I can do with that is a reverse phone lookup and I can learn whatever I want for only $14.95.


This is why we should not freely distribute stuff like this on the internet.

King_Shadow89
01-30-2008, 07:53 AM
LOL what kind of thread is this?
When I get someones phone number I write it down and if I use that number more than five times I will remember it. It took me two weeks to remember my first cell phone number.

I don't have a cell phone(wish I had one!), but I do remember the numbers to my home phone...it's really easy to remember, 'cause of how many times the numbers are repeated.

Nephthys
01-30-2008, 03:57 PM

I know my home phone number, and I'm the only one from my family that actually knows there cell number. In fact, I know not only my own, but my mom's, dad's, and sister's cell numbers.

Golden State Warrior
01-30-2008, 09:42 PM
Yup! I know my number(s). Home phone, cell phone, you name it. But it sure takes a long time for it to burn into my brain.

Asriel
01-30-2008, 09:58 PM
I could never remember my phone number.I use to have to turn it off and turn it back on to see my number.Now since I have a new phone,I can just look and find it(lol).Anyway i still have to do that or ask someone who already knows my phone number. =_=

Hungry man
01-30-2008, 10:05 PM
It took me a while to learn my cell number because most of them were random numbers.

Spiffy!
01-30-2008, 10:56 PM
It took me a while to get my phone number in my head. xD My dad had to write it down on paper for me like 3 times before I even remembered it. People kept asking for it so I had to memorize it. :p

MissChelly
01-31-2008, 12:51 AM
I know all my numbers! *nods proudly* lol.

No, but really. I do. Sorta, lol. Unfortunately, it seems whenever I finally remember a friend's number, I only get to use that newly memorized number for about a day or two- then go figure, the number changes... then I have to remember the NEW number they gave me. Pluh.

Zwaztika
01-31-2008, 02:01 AM
Of course I know my phone numbers.
When someone asks my phone number, I don't need to find it because I can mention it.

Ikaruga
01-31-2008, 03:11 AM
Well in the past, yes, I used to be able to remember my mobile phone number. With the house number, anyone should be able to remember it.

However since many new phones, I don't use my mobile phone much anymore, so I place less emphasis on remembering the number of the last new phone I brought. Kinda makes sense really, if it's important, remember it. If not, don't bother.

dream magician
01-31-2008, 05:15 AM
I memorize my phone no.^^

I can't believe that some people don't know their own phone number.
I know my house phone and cellphone number by heart.

Some people just don't place importance on remembering numbers, especially numbers that they hardly use.

Well for me in particular, I update my mobile phone every year or so. And since I hardly use it for social life, only for voice messages, a calender and alarm, then why remember the number?

Not so hard to believe if you ask me.

Heh yea i memorized my phone and cell number. Any ladies want it? LMAO

NinnaMoon
01-31-2008, 12:18 PM
No, I have to write down my cell # in my other cell. And I use it as a reference when I give it out to people! I eventually learn it when I give it out a lot.

Tsuna Kadiri
01-31-2008, 02:25 PM
.. I know my home phone number, my mom's work number, and my grandmother's home phone number. Everything else? No.

I just put everything else in my cell phone. It remembers other people's numbers for me so I don't have to!

And I don't get free texts, I get like 1500 a month. Wish I did though, that would be sweet.

Khanxay
01-31-2008, 02:25 PM
Meh. I should get free texting... but then again my dad is paying my phone bills. I'd rather not make him pay anymore. And we got some stupid 700 minutes family plan. But then again... I barely even waste 200.

rf switch
01-31-2008, 02:27 PM
I know my own numbers...Its others I don't really remember since now in the days of cell phones and electronic phone books I just see the name of the person I'm calling. Not there number.

01-31-2008, 03:47 PM
If you have a phone or/and cell phone, do you know the numbers to them?


I find it odd and funny how I know several people that don't know their own cell's number. Sometimes, people don't even know their house phone.

haha, it happens a bit to me. but i cant even remember my family's number. Just my house number.

mine is simple cause the last 4 numbers is also a name hotdog stand called 1901.
(i save my number on the notepad on my SE phone for safe keeping =D)

01-31-2008, 04:03 PM

Nariko
02-24-2008, 02:57 PM
My cell number is quite easy to remember. Odd number, even number, and the rest are just odd numbers. xD But anyways, in the last four digits funny thing is that it's the middle numbers of my social security number. :x

02-24-2008, 03:33 PM
Haha! I know people like that. I do know my number though.
unlimitted text. =D

I used to be really bad with my phone number, moved around alot. Grr, I sound like such a tard when someone asks my number or directions to my house. >_o

demonplight
02-24-2008, 03:58 PM
I have had my cell number for like 5 years, I better know it. but when I did get it my phone had a sticker on the back that had the number on it. Home phone, don't have one, I did have vonage for a year, but I got rid of it.

blueangel06661
02-24-2008, 06:17 PM
i know my cellphone number. I've had it for about 5 years.

The ironic thing is that my school locker # a few years ago was 1091 and it was my # backwards.. a friend pointed it out ^-^ i didn't know. This year my school locker number is the first 3 numbers of my cellphone. [which can be read anyway.. ex: 424, 535, 767, 343.. so on] so I can say that it's backwards like it was a few years ago xD

KP4

Yeah, of course. I'm ususally giving my number or filling it out in forms so either i had to memorize it or go through the trouble of checking my phone all the time.

I know both my home phone and my cell phone number, but I don't know anyone elses, not even my own boyfriends. I've had him on caller ID so long memorizing it has lost its use. xD

But my phone numbers are easy! They use a lot of the same numbers as my high school ID number xD
