Ive only ever had one number but i got a whole bunch of simmcards laying around.....telstra, dodo, vodafone, virgin, telstra again etc....
this way there is no need to inform everyone when my mobile number changes....and i know it so well..
043937****
I took this number cause it has 393 in it 3 & 9 are possibly the best numbers in the world

I don't change phone number(s) unless I really absolutely have to do it. during college I have to move to a new dormitory every summer session and by the time it ends I have to move back to my previous dorm but (THEY!!!) always put me in a different room, so my phone number was always changing.  ..after college's done my landline changes everytime I moved (the phone company's availability is limited) but my cell number (Sprint is the only available option back then in the area) stayed for about 3 years, then moved here with hubby, got on T-Mobile, got this number since 2002 and have a few other prepaid numbers (none is a keeper and all is no older than 10 months old).
my family (parents, grandparents, relatives) never changes phone since I can remember. I think everyone have the exact same landline numbers even before I was born! not sure about cellphones though hehehe

Instead of always changing numbers i have my main Contract number which everyone who knows me has and its the one i give when i meet someone and then i have a Pre-paid sim which ONLY close friends and family have. Ive had both numbers for about 3years now, works fine for me.

I've only had two numbers (since going on contract). The first i had for 6years and then the number i've got now.
Although i got a very good deal at the time by changing networks, It suprised me, outside friends & family etc how many other people i realised i would have to notify at the time (bank, work etc) Only now am i managing to remember it and not blurt out my old number when asked! So for that reason alone i would pull out all the stops to avoid changing/porting again.
On the note of unusual/cool numbers, a lad i knew at collage (a good few years ago now) had his number as 0****AAACCC and was always getting asked how much he'd sell that for. |

I've kept mine as long as possible. I've had 5 numbers in 12 years (going back to Analog), but I've had my current number for the last 7 years. I had the number before that for 3 years, but when I changed networks they wouldn't let me keep my number (going from prepaid to a plan). Since then Australian govt. legislated for number portability, meaning networks now are obliged to port your old number to new accounts. This was to encourage competition, as networks were using the refusal to port numbers as a means of keeping customers on their own networks.
