These golden mobile numbers people are selling on ebay, like 07969999999, does anyone know how these people get hold of them on the first place??

There are companies that will sell you the golden numbers....they presumably buy them from the telcos, and add on a premium.

Google golden numbers and you'll find them.......

As there are so many available now your local phone shop owner will have one and so will half of his family, therefore you approach him and ask him to reserve the next decent number that comes in.

If you buy a few phones (as a business) off a particular dealer, he too will sort you out if asked.

Lots of PAYG numbers are golden that get through to dealers.

O2 used to do it, they would give you a list and you picked the number,
although if you ask any of the saturday staff they have in these days, they havnt got a clue what your on about

My mum's mobile number is a craker - everyone thinks it is made up or teh number for a chat line , but it is real and was the number she was given about 10 years ago.

All double numbers, including the dialling codes...i.e 07766 338822

It wasn't originally like that as the 1st two digits were "04" before the phone companies had to add another digit.

My number is almost the same as my home and fax number, barring two digits and the dialling code, again pure luck, but easy on the memory

So we can catch your mum on that number!

A good friend bought a £5 orange sim card in a corner shop for his girlfriend....then kept it when he saw the number.
0***6543210!!!!

£5!!!
Got the pac code and transferred it to his contract, then bought her another (boring) number. He still has the number to this day.

Some of them sell for silly money on ebay


All the free sim cards I have got from o2, orange and virgin have never really had anything decent number wise

Dont most people just text someone their number then add to favs.I couldnt tell you a single number of any of my freinds/relatives.
Whats the point?
