Kimono-Girl · 20-01-2011 08:43PM

one-angry-dwarf · 20-01-2011 08:43PM

is that number missing a digit?

KeithM89_old · 20-01-2011 08:43PM

I wonder what the last digit is...:rolleyes:

Tarzan_man · 20-01-2011 08:44PM

I wonder what the last number could be? :pac:

robbie_998 · 20-01-2011 08:44PM

No private numbers may call ? :pac:

Bruthal · 20-01-2011 08:45PM

I got a unique phone number for nothing.

caesar · 20-01-2011 08:45PM

Not for personal use.

A taxi driver will whip it up. I did a college project last semester and the owner of a taxi firm told me he paid a few grand for a number like that...it was landline though if that makes a difference.

Deus Ex Machina · 20-01-2011 08:46PM

Not even for 6969666.

Nip The Tip · 20-01-2011 08:46PM

If hot women with no pens and poor memory were frequently asking for my number, then I may invest in it

BASHIR · 20-01-2011 08:46PM

It sounds expensive but its actually a bargain, if you think about it say a taxi driver or restaurant that delivers you would be quite surprised at how much more business they actually get with a phone number that easy to remember.

beaten to it damn slow typing

Well hung · 20-01-2011 08:55PM

be a great number for a brazzer.... you'll always remember it when on the drink.

OutlawPete · 20-01-2011 09:05PM

Ha, my mobile is soooo similar and I have been offered money for it also.

Course it's worth the money, an easy to remember number is crucial.

Especially if it's on a van or something and people have seconds to memorise it.

Dravokivich · 20-01-2011 09:24PM

my phone number is quite unique as it is. never had anyone ring me looking for someone else.

mikemac · 20-01-2011 09:27PM

I have 666 in my number and people think they are so witty with their comments when they are told :rolleyes:

Keep it up, I've heard them all before

As for that number OP, some business might buy it.

Hell NO,
I've been a kid and these kind of numbers get prank phone calls all the time.

-Corkie- · 20-01-2011 10:23PM

I have an easy number like that. I got mine for free when Esat at the time came here. I worked for them at the time but a golden number that time was 250 pound.

foxinsox · 20-01-2011 10:26PM

The reason they are trying to sell it as a lucky number is because of all the 8's in it.

As far as I remember the number 8 in Chinese means good fortune and wealth in your life. So a number with lots of 8's can be sold for up to €500 as far as I know.

I was offered £500 for my number a good few years ago...

Doh! I walked right into that one

Bruthal · 20-01-2011 11:24PM

Your right though, the chinese word for 8 sounds similar to the one for prosper, big money would be made for a mobile number there with all 8`s in it.

jimmynokia · 22-01-2011 01:56PM

having read all the posts its a mixed bunch
it s good and bad
pros and cons i would say the cons outweigh the pros in the long term
