Do you remember your own cell phone number?

When I purchase my cellphone with its plan, I never bother to look up my cell phone number. All I did just keep calling others and notify them that is my new cell phone number. It is automatically save in the system. So, someone ask me again what is my number, I have to look up my cellphone, or I call their phones, so my number will be displayed. Sometimes, that is a mess, because I am too lazy to remember my own cell phone number. That is the cause of convenience of advance electronics.

Hey, No I don't remember my own cell phone number, I don't really know it from my own knowledge. Some of my friends don't know their own mobile number too, it is a bit of a worry. What would you do if someone asks you for your phone number and you don't have your phone with you? Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!

it is very difficult to remember my cell phone number especially when some one asks for it. i invariably mess it up, and only after a couple of wrong digits do i come up with the actual number. i think this is mainly due to over dependance on technology. we just fail to make good use of our brain cells.

I do remember my own cell phone number. It was very easy for me considering that I was able to choose the number when I bought the sim. It has a significance so obviously it is very easy indeed to remember. I have also memorized my wife cellular phone number. I do find it important to remember my number so it would be easy to give it to someone when somebody asks for it even if I do not have my mobile phone.

When the phone company gives me a choice of numbers for my new one, I usually choose the one that is easiest to remember because knowing my own phone number is...something basic. I also remember all the important people's numbers, like family members, roommates, and my bosses. If I were to lock myself out of my car or house without my phone, I would want to be able to call someone and get help. And out of simplicity, it me but a few moments to memorize a number and knowing my own prevents me from looking ridiculous.

I do make a point to remember my cellphone number, as in case if there's anyone asking, I can just give the cellphone number to the person. For my current cellphone number, it's also very easy to remember. The cellphone operator gave us a list of numbers to choose from, and I'm lucky to find a number which is very easy to remember. However, I do not remember my home landline number, as I seldom ask people to call me at that number. If I need to call, I will always have to find the number in my cellphone.

I remember my own cell phone number as it is easy to write it when needed. Although most people just give or take a missed call to note numbers, but I always have my number in my head so that it's easy for me to remember. In fact I got such a number that is easy to remember, for me and for others also. bourne

i use my cell as my home phone too so are better remember it when people ask me for it! my problem is remembering other people's phone numbers because i just enter them in my phone and dial using their names. i used to know everyone's phone numbers that i needed to be in touch with but i have relied too much on technology so now i really do not know many numbers at all.

This is funny because I too don't know my own mobile number, lol. I am using prepaid and I normally buy a prepaid scratch cards. There are one time that they've run out of cards and they asking for my number because they will put eload instead and when I said that I don't know my number they look at me and they were surprised, lol. Apparently I didn't end it up with load and just come back some other day. And to be honest I still don't know my number.

I have no idea what my cell phone number is. I just put it in my phone the the name "My Number". If anyone needs it, I look it up. I don't use my phone a lot anyway, neither do I call my own number, sooo.. Lol.

Funnily enough I can remember my brother's mobile phone number as he has had the same number for over 15 years. The one I bought recently the handset was not that good, and my battery charger became lost, I never knew my own call number. I tend not to use the phone that much.
