...Cellphone Owner. Virgin Mobile have fabulous offers for people who don't use cellphones much (i.e. me) and currently offer a deal that means they are effectively paying me to take their cellphone, what with the paid time they give you for free. I wonder which friend of mine might take the cellphone's text-receiving/call-receiving virginity, as it were.
And then I got a wonderful telephone number too. 253-468-1470. I love that telephone number. It's one of the few numbers I've ever heard and gone 'Yep, I can remember that.' It's easy. Area code, numbers around the 5, and all the numbers down the left side of a telephone, ending in 0.
Anyway! Yes, send messages and harass me if so desired. I would appreciate anything from anyone. But I don't like the US system where one pays to receive and read a text message. The UK method of paying more to send and nothing to receive, is a far better structure for it all.
468. Just even numbers after 2; just numbers around 5 ignoring 2.
1470. A pattern that goes up in threes if you ignore the 1 in 10; a straight line down the left-hand-side of the phone.
Jamie's set to get her phone number when she gets it all set up. If she gets a terrible number I'll encourage her to ask for it to be changed.
I would remember it as being "2 from 5 is 3/even numbers 4-8/14 divided by 2 is 7 with no remainder."
Anyway, no point to this.
But in this instance, it's easier for me to remember my number in a visual context because I had to type the number in to get the phone working. Formulaic patterns with numbers didn't come into my head the first time around. It's a number that is easier to type on a phone than on a computer, using either the top row of keys or the number pad.
For most telephone programs over here, you pay for your calls and for your received calls. I'm not 100% on it, but I might have to pay money when someone calls me.
