Unique Phone Numbers

It is an acknowledged fact of life that people use commodities to impress peers and prospective partners but since the development of the internet this has expanded to include bragging about activities that you’ve completed. In a world full of people constantly connected to mobile phones and using them to transmit messages in a variety of formats including emails and text messages but also social media, this demand – certainly amongst the younger generation – to impress, means that every aspect of their mobile phone needs to be impressive.

This stretches as far as phone numbers and it has become abundantly clear that there is a market for unique, memorable numbers.

Obviously some of these numbers are used to promote businesses and they are considered a good investment. A pizza company for instance could pay for the numbers 749927 to appear after the area code because those are the number counterparts to the keys used to type ‘pizzas’ on a telephone keypad. This quirky product also reflects how integral phones are to our lives – companies are striving to be remembered by their customers through the use of something they do everyday.

Other numbers that can be bought include novelty ones ending in or including ‘007’. Obviously metonymic of James Bond and therefore intended to impress or at least alert all of those who have your number that you share some qualities with the famous spy. Perhaps that you are as delusional as he is fictional. But the point is that having a number that has novelty value not only provides entertainment for those who have it but it also, in theory, makes it easy for people to remember.

Many people find it difficult to remember all of their numbers these days because they have so many – a mobile phone, a landline phone and then there are the numbers that we use for all the other things such as pin numbers – so having a memorable number could work in your benefit. There is a market for unique numbers that includes you selecting the numbers you want in the final six digits of your phone number and a company fixing it for you. They are not necessarily the cheapest commodity you’ll ever purchase but if having a series of numbers that have some connection to you, like birthdays or anniversaries etc as your phone number will help, then it’s worth it.
