What’s your number?

🎶5446 was my number, right now, someone else has that number….🎶

I digress. What’s the shortest phone number you can remember having ? I can’t remember four digit numbers ever, but I think I can remember five digit numbers and then a nine being introduced on the front of it making it six.

Now I have an 11 digit number for the UK and a 10 digit number for the UAE & struggle to remember either.

Do you actually know your own or anybody’s number anymore?

I remember our first four digit number, lifting the receiver and waiting for the operator to say 'number please'

The only number I know how is my dad's landline

The shortest I remember were the 7-digit numbers before the "1" was added after the leading "0" - i.e. Birmingham changing from "021" to "0121" and London changing from 017/018 to 0207/0208. I think it was the mid-90s.

I can't remember anybody's number, not even my own.

I remember my five digit home phone number from when I was a kid. I think it had gone up from four shortly before we moved there though as I remember people talking about it.

I know mine, my mother, my sister, my best friends and my partners mobile numbers by heart. Because if I lose my phone I can borrow someone else's to contact someone in an emergency.

I also still remember long term partners numbers from the past 20 years or so.

I've always had a good head for numbers though 💜

Wait a minute...

Are those of you referring to 4 or 5 digit telephone numbers referring to telephone numbers sans the local area codes?

Yes but phone numbers when I was a kid only had four digits.

You also had to ask the operator for the area and number.

"You also had to ask the operator for the area and number. "

Just Googled and discovered Subscriber Trunk Dialling codes (i.e. area codes) weren't fully implemented until the year I was born. No wonder I was confused!

I was 11 before we even got a phone . I was frightened to death of the damn thing.

For me it’s always been 11 digits for mobile, and 6 for landlines (plus area code)

From memory I know my number, my husbands and my mums. And my childhood home landline

We moved a lot so I don't remember any of our home numbers. But my grandparents was '238'. They lived in a small village. When you answered the phone, you had to say the name of the village and then number before even saying hello to the person calling 😂 It seems so bizarre now, but it was the norm back in the 60s/70s

I remember my grans landline and a landline for the house we lived in before I went to uni, which no longer exists, because I learnt them pre mobiles.

I dont remember anyone's mobile, I really should learn one.

I have no issue with my current mobile and my work number....anybody else, nope.

Funny, because I can easily remember our house telephone number from the 70's. Guess we rely on our contact list these days 🤓

I can remember my mobile number and remember as a child just using 6 digits for local calls in the same town and could identify areas by the phone code in my last job. I still love how old people say ohhh its such and such 123456

I remember sheffield being area code 0742. Now I think there are 3 dialling codes for the city

I can still remember the 2 numbers from my formative years. 54x7x4 and 8x0x9x8. I also remember dad having to have the number starting 8 because BT wouldn't let him transfer the number to a new address. But then getting back 54 when we moved again (back on to the same exchange area). Isn't it strange what memories get triggered!

I can remember my childhood phone number without the 01 it was 7 digits. I can also remember my best friend's number from junior school and my mum's work number because i was always calling her asking if I was allowed out to play! Now, I know my mobile number and my work number and that's it. Sign of the times really as we just don't need to remember them now.

Number inflation - it's a secret trick to either improve memory or stop people trying to remember and thus our minds go to waste.

I have a very memorable one, that everyone remembers . I remember 1 friend's home and mobile, plus some family.

Apart from the 1 being added to the area code, I've had the same landline number for 34 years. Mobile changed in 2017. Parents landline same for 44 years.
