Have You Memorized Your Phone Number?

I am not good in Math and memorizing numbers of my phone. Well, my landline, yes because we have these numbers for ages.
Today, I was able to transfer my old Lumia smartphone number to my IPhone. I have O2 contract and it costs me only 9.99 € monthly for my smartphone. About 2 years ago, I bought my IPhone but I always bought prepaid card from Aldi before. I mostly used my IPhone for taking photos and videos so, prepaid cards are enough for me.
Now, my Lumia smartphone has given up its life and so I transfered the simcard to my IPhone. Until now I have not memorized the number of both phones. I always have extra written paper for the numbers just in case I need them.
I think it is time for me to concentrate on my numbers. If I can memorize a poem, I think I can memorize the numbers, too. Numbers are not really my forte.
How about you? Are you good at keeping the numbers of your telephone in mind?
Goodnight! See you tomorrow on your discussions.
The photo of the cake I made. I wanted to have the decoration in red but there was not enough red food coloring at home and so it became pink. The color which I do not like. Anyway, the chiffon cake was delicious.

Yes I can remember my 11-digit mobile phone number and that of my wife but I don’t take effort to memorize the numbers of other people because they’re on my contact list on my phone anyway. This reminds me when I was still working as currents accounts bookkeeper. There were two of us bookkeepers handling about 200 accounts each and can memorize almost all the accounts in our assigned books which was 5 digits each. Some clients were even amazed when they sometimes come asking for their balance and we can tell them their balance without looking at their ledgers. This was because every morning we exchange ledgers to verify and vouch the postings of the other bookkeeper. That was long before computerization.

Everything is programmed into my phone. I would be in trouble if I ever lost it because, no I do not remember phones well.

Don´t you want to memorize it just in case you lost your phone and call it? Thanks @JohnRoberts

@LindaOHio just the same with me. Mostly, my friends called me on my cellphone when they can´t reach me on my landline.

@thelme55 We only use our cell phones in emergencies; so I'm not quite sure what my number is. I know my husband's because I call it occasionally.

I know my landline for the same reasons you know them. But I refuse to learn the cellphone number

@thelme55 Right
Once, someone asked my phone and I gave my mother´s. Then I discovered that I never called myself.

Just the same with me @marguicha. It seems my mind refuses to learn my cellphone numbers as I don´t call myself anyway. Thanks.

I can usually remember my telephone number since it is on my mind to remember using it when I go make a visit to my doctors for check ups every three months.

Good luck. Some phones let you bring your old number with you. Don't worry you'll memorize it in no time!

It's easy to memorize if you're used to it. My cp has 11 numbers and our telephone has 7 numbers unless you call a long distance for you have to add 3 area code numbers.

Yes, I know @Nakitakona but I am not used to memorizing my phone numbers. I have memorized though almost all my passwords for my online activities.
