Do you know your land-line phone number?

[toythatkills]

This just popped up in my twitter feed, and actually made me curious. I can't poll it up, so if a mod sees this and has nothing to do, we need:

Yes.
No.
My what?

Thanks! I have absolutely no idea what my number is, as I've never told anybody it. I just use my mobile for everything. I do have a phone, but despite the aforementioned fact of never telling anybody the number, as soon as I plug it in I get constant spam phonecalls. So yeah, I don't use it.

Do you know yours?

Ha, what a 21st century problem.

I know mine. I hate using mobile phones for calls so I use mine almost every day. I can still remember my landline number from the 80s, too.

I know the one for my Scottish place, I have no idea what my London one is. (I've made two calls at most in the last two years on it!)

[Dogg Thang]

Nope. I know very few phone numbers now. I remember the number in the house I grew up in, I know my mobile and my work number and that's probably it. With contacts features in every phone now, I have had no need to remember any, including my home number.

[Daragon]

What an odd question.

Yes I do.

In all honesty, if the question was "Do you know your mobile number" I'd have probably answered either just about or flat out no - I make a habit of getting the 07717 bit wrong, telling people 07747 by mistake.

Haha, now that you mention that, I can remember various land-line numbers from my childhood (260338 was one of them, though I can't remember at what address) but this one? Nope!

I will always use the landline in preference to mobile if I have it to hand. It's still cheaper isn't it? Therefore I know the number.

[Flabio]

Nope. My landline exists purely for my ADSL. Mobile gets used for actually talking to people because I hardly ever speak on the phone these days.

[prinnysquad]

Of course. I wouldn't have a Scooby Doo what my mobile number is though.

I still remember when the phone numbers got modified. Durham numbers went from 091 to 0191. I think.

Damn Tories.

[Spatial]

Of course I do, it's [edit: I can't believe I posted that - what an idiot I am!]

[egparadigm]

Now I'm wondering if Spatial's feeling lonely or if he's sat on a public bog and reading the number for SEXY GAY FUN TIMES.

EDIT: Excellent, I was hoping to have take away this evening. Bit of a round trip, but they say hunger is the best sauce.

This, although I have also had an "erotic text message" and someone asking me for a quote to clean their windows, so I presume the number belonged to someone else before....

I tend to use my mobile for most things as my contract includes more minutes than I can use but other people prefer to phone the landline as it is cheaper for them. I have to check what it is when giving it to people, unlike my mobile which I know off the top of my head.

I do know my Mums home number (formerly my home number) and the BT number that house had before she switched to Virgin. I also know a fair few other peoples home phone numbers but not their mobile numbers.

Comprehensive enough?

[egparadigm]

Seriously? Google says you do Chinese takeaway.

[Spatial]

God damn it, it's impossible to easily prank people in the day and age where Google has everything.

Clearly a 1/10 must try harder on my part.

They do make an amazing pork fried rice tho

[elaniel]

No idea what mine is. Only exists as it was cheaper to take out with my Virgin TiVO and broadband.
