In this age of smartphones, do people even remember phone numbers anymore?

You'd be surprised in the number of people who don't even know their own cell phone number let alone one for anyone else. Have we become so lazy you cant't even remember your own phone number? Reason I've gotten is I don't ever need to call myself.

I remember about 20 or so

I know the numbers I knew from childhood.... Unfortunately I couldn't begin to tell you some of my closest friends numbers

When someone asks me for my digits, I usually have to look in my phone.

I know mine, my parents' land and mobile #s, and like 2 friends

Only a handful of important ones.
Mine is important, obviously, I remember it.

I know four current numbers and would recognize a couple of others. I know about five old ones from my childhood.

These people would be incredibly stupid people and I don't think it's that common.
I know all the numbers I need if I didn't have my phone: Wife and family.

I know my moms number and that's really about it.

It's not that we've become lazy. We just don't have the need to memorize numbers anymore. The only phone numbers I really have memorized are from the time before cellphones were a widespread thing.

I know maybe 5. I actually was just joking about this with my mom because she is one of the few numbers I can say from memory. Only reason I know it is because I needed to memorize it before cell phones existed.

I know far more work extensions than family/friend numbers, since work calls require me to actually enter a number vs press a contact.
I forced myself to memorize my SO’s number in case I’m ever without my phone. I should probably memorize my mother’s. I know her old landline which is no longer in use, but not her cell.

This. I recall numbers from 30 years ago as a kid, but never see the numbers of places or friends after entering them once into my phone.
Kind of shame. Back in the day I could remember numbers like a 4chan autist.

Only one I remember.

I know the important ones, 15 or so, by heart.

I know mine and my wife's only because you need them so often for dealing with things online or other businesses. Beyond that the only ones I remember are ones that predate cell phones when you had to dial a number.
