I have a very good memory in regards to phone numbers. I can never remember people's names, but I can remember phone numbers to pizza places that I may have only called once about 10 years ago...lol

I do remember some phone numbers I need to but generally dont commit a number to memory I dont use often and now with the automatic phone number logs on my phone I have not had to remember a phone number in many years.

I'm good with all numbers, but I don't like math.

I organize and explain things numerically. For example, I organize which songs I can use on my iPod during exercise on a treadmill based on the speed of the treadmill. I have a list of songs I can choose from for 3.3 mph, 4.0 mph, etc. I also randomly recall license plate numbers, phone numbers from 20 years ago, numerical birthdates, etc.

My children are both wildly fascinated with numbers.

I'm useless at maths, but I remember phone numbers (and other numbers) very easily. I could tell you the numbers of my school friends from when I was 5 years old!!

I'm terrible with any numbers including phone numbers and dates. I seem to have no memory for them whatsoever; I do seem to memorize them more easily now than I did throughout my teens, and, at this point, I know my own and those of my grandmother and two good friends, but that's about it.

Number synaesthetia seems to help a little when I make an effort to remember a number, but only a little.

I'm pretty good at remembering numbers up to maybe 10-12 digits on the spot but not any longer.

Am okay at remembering ph. #'s, not so good at correctly matching the # with who it belongs to (so it doesn't do much good, have to look up on my written list). I've better recall of old, out-of-date #'s (which are no longer of any use, yet they're still well engraved in my brain).

Yes except I get the last four digits switched around at times. I am very good with license plate numbers.

Years ago, I joined the top dating agency, "Dateline".
The fact that I recieved not a single call helped me re-enforce the negative feelings about myself.
But to be honest, I think its because I gave them my wrong phone number.

I hate telephones. I hate everything about telephones and using the telephone. I could rant about it here, but I won't. In spite of that, I easily memorize phone numbers and actually enjoy doing it. I can remember any number that I try to remember for as long as I want to remember it. (Sometimes I forget my own, though. :oops: ) I would rather spend an hour memorizing phone numbers than talking on the phone.

I'm rather fond of phonebooks, too. I have been collecting them for years. :D

I am horrible with phone numbers. It is probably psychological, being that my mind may be constantly purging anything that has to do with telephones because I hate them.

I am average.
For a year I had to constantly remind Flakey of what his cell phone number was.

I remember numbers quite well.

Remembering who they call, not so much :)

Especially annoying when calling people with the same exchange, because then only the last 4 digits differ.

Recently my cell provider changed it so now I need to dial the full 10-digit number even for local calls! It's especially annoying because I tend to not use the phone book on my cell and just dial the numbers directly, so I feel forced to use it because otherwise I have to press too many buttons :(
