Mine was 375-0517. A number burned into my mind. Last week I found out it's a prime number.

I still have a list of childhood friend's numbers burned into my head but I realized the other day that should I somehow be without my cell phone and its saved contacts, I would have no way to contact my girlfriend or anyone else I've met in the past 10 years.

Scary isn't it? I know one friend's #, and my wife's. Probably should remember your girlfriends. :)

I also know a bunch of landline numbers that don't exist anymore.

You've got a good memory. The only way I can remember my current phone number is to list it as a contact in the phone's address book.
