    So i'm sending a text and i scroll down through the various names on my phone when i realise i have hundreds (203 to be precise).
    I tend not to delete old numbers for various reasons..i have maybe ten or so numbers i use all the time and a handfull i'd use occasionaly but the vast majority i've either nver spoken to or i did years ago and kept the numbers for whatever reason.
    So..how many numbers do you have,how many do you use and how do you accrue new " contacts"?

    Do you have scores out of ten beside their names??


    I tend to lose my phone every couple of months.. So that gets me down to the basic numbers again, I have 123 people in my phone!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    230 apparently. Really must delete some of those.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 504 ✭✭✭LostGirly


    359! i use about 30 of them!!! A lot of them are old numbers, old friends from school/college I've lost touch with but you just don't want to delete their number do you?!

    Also have exactly 203! And yea there's probably about 10 I use all the time and a handful more that I'm occasionaly in contact with. I never delete contacts and I've never lost a phone so there's people in there from waaay back. I even still use the same sim card from my first ever phone, maybe 8 or 9 years ago! it still has the Eircell colours on it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    115! But some of them are numbers of people i met when i was drunk and vowed to be their new best friend. I only use like 30 of them on a regular basis


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    Not nearly enough .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,964 ✭✭✭ToniTuddle


    Good lord god :eek:

    I've got 330!!

    The majority of them are all feiced around the world and all over Ireland.
    Keep their numbers as ya never know when I might end up in lets say...Ukraine,NZ,USA, North Korea or Galway :P

    On a regular basis....only text about 5 people.

    I've tried deleting ones in the past but they always find their way back into your phone. Same with the Bebo. Deleted 200 "friends" and sure they are all nearly back again. I'm gonna delete my whole account now and gonna clean out my phone numbers too :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    I've no idea. The only numbers in my phone are from people who have either called or texted me first or the emergency services number. I fucking hate my phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 234 ✭✭DubLass


    Not many since I got a new phone and lost most of them then happened to gain some numbers that I had deleted ages ago :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,944 ✭✭✭Jay P


    195. I'd get away with having about 30 I'd say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,844 ✭✭✭✭cormie




  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,431 ✭✭✭✭Saibh


    121 contacts, could have 2-3 numbers under some contacts, not too sure how many phone/mobile numbers I have - probably no more than 150 altogether.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    about 100

    would have more but i deleted loads cos memory on my phone was full and i had to delete hundreds of texts...etc..

  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 5,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭G_R

    Ah so it was you! Thanks for the heads up, I'll know for next time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,844 ✭✭✭✭cormie

    Yeah, most of them are :) I'd save any number I think I'd ever need to look up again though, doctor, insurance company, mechanic but not people I'd only have once off deals with, if I was buying something 2nd hand off somebody for example. I'd always ask people who give me their "new number" if they still use their old one too or should I replace the old one so I don't have a lot of duplicates.

    Counting is so old skool. Phonebook memory details ftw!

    I've 252. I'm well popular so I am. I'd actually say half of them could probably be deleted and I'd never miss them.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 442 ✭✭smiley girl


    over 9000

    9000 Contacts? Like 9000 people in your phone?? wow!

    Hold on a min, what fone do you have that can hold 9000 phone numbers??:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,390 ✭✭✭The Big Red Button


    I wasn't expecting to have over 100, but I somehow have 264! And I lost my phone and all my numbers about two years ago so I don't know how I have that many. I went through them there to try to delete a few but I actually am in touch with most of them, even if not on a regular basis.

    There is one thing bothering me though - I have a mobile number saved as "John Shithead." I have no idea who that is! :confused: I'm nearly half tempted to text him and find out who he is and why I would save him as that. :D
