Morning folks!


Sorry the question is so late today. It's a long one today.

How many phone numbers do you have saved on your cell phone? Or if you don't have/don't use a cell phone, how many numbers do you have written down or memorized?

On my phone I have 53. Up until a couple years ago I had about 30 of them memorized!

I have 34 stored, and the only ones I know by heart are my son, husband, and work. I'd be lost w/o my cell phone address book.

I think I have about 15 numbers on my cell phone since I hardly use it at all. My landline phones have way more.

I have 152 numbers..
Where the heck did they all come from?! I think I need to go them through and delete the ones I don't need anymore.

On my cell I have: [1] the house land line; [2] DH's cell; [3] Stepson's cell, [4] house voice mail. There may be one more, but I forget what. I have them for ease of dialing, not for the memory aspect, except the voice mail one.

As for memorizing, I don't deliberately, but dates and numbers are data elements that I remember without trying, if I know that I'm going to want them again. I remember phone numbers from 50+ years ago.

There are 180 records in my address book on my PDA. They're there for assorted reasons, some long since irrelevant should be culled. Not all of them even have phone numbers in them.

I have 48 numbers, at least 4 of those have at least 2 numbers listed with them, and I have about another 40 numbers saved to my phone book (not on the phone).

I don't know how to count, but I'd say over 100. I store all sorts of numbers in my cell phone, I love being able to look up a restaurant or a business number in my contacts! I only call a handful of friends, but I like keeping other numbers just in case.

funny that you should ask this today
I switched providers and had to manually enter all my contacts
luckily I only have about 45, only the ones I use most often are memorized- my mom's, sister's, a couple friends

Probably only 20 or so...I don't put them in for the sake of it. I only have numbers in there that I actually call.

My phone is currently completely drained of battery life, but I believe I have around 50 numbers in there. I'm great at remembering numbers in my head, and can remember all sorts of numeric things from the past. I even remember a license plate number from 2nd grade during a D.A.R.E exercise!

I had to go in and look..........103 numbers. Most are friends and relatives, but some are shops that we frequent, some are restaurants. I also have my doctor and dentist listed. Some are for the same person; my son, for example, has four phone numbers. I'd be lost without my cell!

I used to have many of these numbers memorized, but since putting them into the cell phone, I've forgotten many of them.
