How long have you had your mobile number?

Evening peeps

So how long have you had your current mobile number for?

I've had mine since i first got a phone which was about 12 years ago.

I know a lot of people swap with new contracts etc but ive always kept mine

So any one kept there's for longer

Dons please move if it's more suited to the mobiles forum.

Had mine for about 4 yearsish now. Wouldn't dream of changing it! I know my Dads had the same mobile number since I was a nipper, so probs about 12+ years at least.

8 years.

All friends and previous employers have my current number.

I won't ever change it unless I am forced to.

2 years now. 4 phones later as well, really like knowing my mobile number. The one before that i had for 7 years (from my first phone), its so annoying people changing them!

I tend to get one with new contracts. So about 7 months now.

about 20yrs, mine is one of the first set of mobile numbers issued

I think the first numbers issued were 0831 for voda and 0850 for Cellnet

since 2003, had it transferred over 4 networks since then.

Way over ten years, paid for an easy to remember number when I got it.

MowyTone · 6 Mar 2010 at 18:27

Only about 4 ish years after an ex stole my old mobile with an 0777 number.

InvaderGIR · 6 Mar 2010 at 18:27

6-7 years I think.

leaskovski · 6 Mar 2010 at 18:27

about 10~11 years now. Had it since I joined Orange a long long time ago and have shifted it around the networks.

had my first number for a few month (philips savvy phone if you remember it) and after that i've had the same one since. would never change it. My parents have had their same numbers for a very long time, since the dawn of 'modernday' mobiles, the type where the you didnt remove the sim card from the bigger creditr-card sized card! the whole lot got stuck in.

[edit] 10 years for me then, longer for parents

So is that the start of the numbers or did they only issue 4 digit ones?

Since june 2008

Buffman · 6 Mar 2010 at 18:33

Since the start of january, one before that I'd had around 3 years. I'm not really bothered about the number as once I message my friends my new number they all have it =/
