I’ve had one number for 20+ years and several other work numbers for work cell phones. I’d honestly love to switch my old number to forever leave behind these legit crazy people who still call me because we were friends in the neighborhood. They switch numbers all the time and for some reason still remember my number. It’s annoying AF.

Well, if you deduct 30+ from 2022, we have an issue.
504-450, area code and prefix.
My phone was bolted into my truck, but gave me 3 watts I think which
was a lot back then.
Been through 3 or 4 companies and might leave soon. AT&T sucking a lot
lately.
.50 a minute or so when I signed up.

I had a work phone that was essentially my personal phone from 2003-13. Since then, I’ve had the same number.

Same phone number, and yes the area code matches, since 2004, when I first got my Nokia flip. I still remember the first text I received, "sucks, don't it?" The second after we lost to AU 10-9...

scrolling through, must have missed your post.

It is crazy how long we keep things like this. My parents still have the house phone number I grew up with and they have had it for like 55 years and it is sheer spite at this point.

No. Burner phone every day. Sometimes twice a day depending on where at in the world and who the target is.

Also, 2002 and not in the same area code, but still down the street from where it begins

Since 2000 and yes. Cingular wireless. There was an ad in the newspaper for a free Nokia and I drove all the way to North Baton Rouge to pick it up. I probably had to print out directions on Mapquest just to get there.

I've had my home phone number from '84 to keep from getting spam calls and when I spoke to my Mom 3 times a week. It's all good.

Mine since 1998, Bell South Mobility. The missus since 1997, Bell South Mobility. The ‘plans’ were 100 minutes per month iirc.

Area codes are for our local area.

Same carrier too. I was a legend to Sprint and got all the special deals. When they merged with T-Mobile, they assured me that my account status will be transferred.

All the sales associates and customer service are blown away when they pull up my account.
