    Default How many phone numbers have your memorised?

    I know my mobile, and my home, the emergency numbers for UK, USA and AUS, and 3 phone numbers from commercial jingles (not sure if they're still in service). If I had a few guesses I might be able to get my Dad's mobile and my local pizza place

    Have a nice day!!

    2-3. But the numbers I memorized are either no longer in service, or numbers I don't dial anymore.

    I know a lot of phone numbers that don't work any more as the place or person changed their number. I perpetually find myself being unable to remember their new ones.

    I don't even know my office's number and Ihave to give that out. It's written on a sticky-note on my desk to be able to repeat over the phone. Ever since I could just add numbers to my phone, I've never had to remember anything anymore. I just have to hit their name and tada!

    I actually have to look in my phone to find my number when someone else asks for it.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I have a handful memorized. I used to be really good at memorizing dozens upon dozens of phone numbers, but cell phones made that obsolete. It's best to keep a backup list somewhere in case a lightening bolt hits you and you only survive because your cell phone absorbed the charge.

    I have very little need to memorize telephone numbers outside of my own or my work line. As such I probably know like 2 - 3 off the cuff if you were to test me. However, if we expand that in to the short codes for my firms offices? Then you'd probably throw that to 30+ easily. I don't need to memorize telephone numbers so I don't. That being said, I have memorized my debit card number in full which is a 16 digit code, plus the expiry and CVC? (another 9 numbers) and the PIN? I could probably memorize a trout ton of numbers if I had to. I just don't feel the need to do it.

    My parents, my two sisters, my three closest friends, work, and a couple of local delivery restaraunts.

    Slightly more than average. Sucks when I need to call Satan and I forget his number so I have to say "Call Satan" into Siri and everyone judges me.
