That song, it goes "867-5309" they had to take it out of the user system telephone thing because people call it.
Probably not, but I want that number, gimme.
In Norway, we have 8 digits, and the population is somewhere around 5 millions, so it'll take a hell of a long time to occupy all of them.
The world will never run out of numbers. They'll just probably add new area codes in the US, create new codes everywhere else.
How can you explain L.A. having more than one Area Code?
i remember when i was a lad we used to press one number and get the guy down the street *reminisces*
Instead of increasing the number of digits in phone numbers, you could just increase the base system. For example... hexadecimal! :D [/geek]
