How long have you had your cellular number?

i have two cellphone numbers right now under two different networks. i have changed my number only once. my old number, i had it for almost six years. i loved that number. it had been with me through my college and my first work experience. sadly, i decided to change it because of prank texters/callers. i couldn't live with it so i decided to get a new number. with regards to my current numbers, the first one, i had it when i still had my old number. its been with me for almost four years. i seldom use it. i bought it because i have friends with numbers from other network and we could easily communicate if we have our numbers under the same network. and the other one, i have it for almost two years now.

mine is relatively new, ive just had last this sim card last december. i have 3 prepaid sim cards to 3 diff. networks here in our country, and the oldest one dats back to 2005.

I have hade my same number for 10 years now

Hi gabrielle47! I have two cellular numbers. The first one is about 10-11 years and the other one is just a year old. I was suppose to change my first number but hubby wants me to maintain it saying that our old clients have that contact number and we have to still keep it just in case they need to do business with us again. Just my thoughts dear friend. Take care and have a nice day!

i always changed my cellular number before about 15 times but when i started a business that includes selling of simcards and electronic loads i changed my mind instead stick to one number only so that my contacts will not lose in contact with me. I have now 3 numbers of with different network provider to cater all my customers what network provider they have. No problems for load because i always received load every month from our supplier and network provider because i use prepaid now, i stop using postpaid plan because of the privilege given by the network. I use postpaid when i was working, i stop when i engage a business.

i have had my cellphone number for 8 years, 2000-2008, but i also have a couple of other numbers for other purposes

I don't have a cellphone, but my son does, I bought it for him in December for Christmas. He doesn't use it much though.

My new number is only a month old. Well, I just got to the UK march 21. But before that I had this international roaming number that I have been using since the beginning of 2005. I have lost 2 celphones when I was in Bangkok but I got the number back because I was using a postpaid program and my network gave me a new sim with the same number. I wonder how it would feel to have a cel number for many years.

i am a postpaid subscriber so i can not easily change my number since i have a contract, well i don't like to change it either, i like my number and i was use to it, i think i will keep it for the long time.

I've had my forever - since I've had a phone. So about ten years!

interesting question, Gab... i know i've had this number long before i started working with my current employer.. soo.. that means i've had this number for over five years now... i've lost my previous numbers - just like you... when i got too careless and lost my mobile phone... and ACTUALLY, during the last five years... i did lose my phone once... but as the technology has progressed very much.. our telco service providers are equipped to still capture your number.. and you can opt to have a Replacement SIM card (with the same number) - some of the company charge for the replacement SIM card.. some dont... i think my husband has kept his same mobile number since the day he started using it... and most of the numbers in my 'phonebook' are still 'valid' - which means most of my friends have also kept their numbers all these years...

I've had my number for 5 years as well, ever since I got back home from studying overseas.

i have had my cell number for over a year now. i'm surprised that i still got it. but, i love the company that i'm with. which is Alltel here in the United States. i love my phone that they gave to me for free too. it's got a loud ringtone on it, and than i can make up my own ringtones from the tools application that is on it.

I have my cel number for barely a month only. The reason is, my cellphone was stolen three months ago...so i need to change my number. When I changed my number, the simcard was broken so i need to change it again. I had a longest cel number when i was subscribed to postpaid...but for some reasons i had to cut it back...

just like you i've changed my cell number for nth time.,there are lots of reason why i did that ., but the recent one is because i just broke up with my boyfriend and i don't wanna receive any text messages coming from him., sigh! ... i don't wanna hear any news regarding whats with him or if he has new gf or whatsoever! duh! i don't care! ...

I've had a few cell phone numbers. Let's see. When I first got my cell phone I had one number for about a year till I broke my phone, by dropping it, and it was a pay as you go, so I needed a new phone and I got on a plan then, with a new phone number. I then moved to another province so again I had to get a new number and I had that one for 1 1/2 years. I now have moved again to another province and so I have a new phone number again and I have had this one for the last three months. So I have so say I have had a few phone numbers.

i have my number for almost 4 years already. actually i want to changed it because their are people that i don't want to reach me through that number. but i just can't. it's the number i put on my resume and its the number i gave to my long lost friends... and i don't want to lost contact with them.

I've had it for about 2 1/2 years, maybe 3. I transferred the number from my old service to the carrier I have now, and I intend to keep it as long as possible.

We have had our cell phone numbers for many year, ever since we got this particular service. I guess it's probably been 6 years or more. We changed providers because they had been bought out, so we decided to go with this company and got a new number.We will probably keep it since this is the only service that works as close to our home as it does. WE can't get service in our home, only on the road or out in the front yard. But no other service has power down in our area.

I have had my cell number for 7 years now. And now its like I can never change it coz all the people who I know since the last 7 years have this number and if ever anybody who am not in touch with me tries calling me I have to make sure that they could reach me.
