re: How long have you had the same cell phone number? (Update)

had my number since 2000.

Since 99. Got it simply because I was taking a few trips a year on my motorcycle and going solo, often for a week or more of just riding to places I'd never been.

1998 (Houston Cellular, which became Cingular, which then became AT&T, changed companies at that point but kept the number.)
