When I signed up for GVoice it gave me the option to enter the last 4 digits and it would give me the number if it was available. I took advantage of this to make my phone number a palindrome (except for the area code).
- gurjeet 4y agoI took advantage of this same Google Voice feature, and got myself a number with _7_ consecutive digits. So my phone number for an international caller is +1-234-567-xyzy. It was very easy for my kids to memorize as they were growing up. Sometimes, when I'm telling them my number for them to note down, people stop midway through until they realize I'm not really pranking them. I'm sure people would not take me seriously if my number had all 10 digits in a sequence and started to repeat after that.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoI've got one that ends in xxx-6789. It makes it easy for kids to remember and it gets a nice little "huh!" from people when I tell them. Seven though, that's a whole 'nother ball game.
- endtime 4y agoBack in the day, Google Voice let you find a number that matched a string, as in 1-800-LAWYERS. I got a number that, inclusive of area code (!), is of the form XYXY-<my first name>. It has a couple other interesting and obvious properties I can't share without making it too easy to guess the number, so I'll just say that it's a great number and I hope I never lose it.
