Phones - the Sunday Five


John over at Going Gently recently mentioned finding the phone number of a friend from 12 years ago, sending a text and much to his surprise getting a reply. Inspiration enough for this weeks Sunday Five questions.  

1: How many phone numbers do you have? 
2: What number have you had the longest? 
3: How long have you had it? 
4: How long have you had the same cell or mobile number? 
5: Have you ever changed your phone number to escape someone calling you? 

My answers: 
1: How many phone numbers do you have? - home - cell- office - the other house - so four. 
2: What number have you had the longest? the other house
3: How long have you had it? Since 1995 = 22 years
4: How long have you had the same cell or mobile number? Since 1997 - 20 years this fall 
5: Have you ever changed your phone number to escape someone calling you? No, I have known people who have.

  4. 1: How many phone numbers do you have? We have a landline, a cell phone each, and work numbers.

    2: What number have you had the longest? The landline.

    3: How long have you had it? Almost 11 years.

    4: How long have you had the same cell or mobile number? 5 years? I rarely use my cell phone so that's a guess.
