How Many Mobile Telephone Numbers Could You Reel Off?

I can remember most landline telephone numbers but to try and remember 11 digit mobile numbers is fairly impossible! I only know my own off by heart. I felt a bit useless until l read this.....

Seven in ten people cannot recall their best friend's number and 51 per cent do not know their parents' number, a survey found.
The so-called goldfish memory' phenomenon has worrying implications in the event of an emergency with people left stranded and unable to contact family or friends if their mobile is lost or stolen.

What about you? Maybe, you have a brilliant memory for numbers and could remember many mobile telephone numbers in an emergency?

1. my own.
But most important numbers can be stored on mobile or home phones. So there is no need to try to remember them.

I can remember my own but that's only a recent thing, other than that, none!

Nope! I only know my own mobile number and that of he who must obey, and that is only because the first 10 numbers of his are identical to mine, the 11th number is one more than mine - reason is I took monthly contract out on the two phones and those were the numbers given.
As for all others, not a chance of remembering them. Thank god for Speed Dial

Same for me too. No need to remember numbers any more - even fixed phones have memories for that.
