Paid Members PJ Power Posted August 29, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2018 Mobile: either 5-3-3 or 5-6. Occasionally 5-2-2-2 if the last six digits can be memorably paired together as three double digits. Landline: All of NI has the area code 028 followed by eight digits with the first digit normally (with a few exceptions) corresponding to the county of the phone exchange except for Greater Belfast which begins with 9, i.e 028 9xxx xxxx, so should be 3-4-4. But even though it's been this way since 2000 I still see a few people put their landline number down as 028xx xxxxxx, 028xxx xxxxx or worse still as (028xx) xxxxxx etc. as even after 18 years some people still seem to struggle that their five or six digit local phone number back in the 90's is now eight digits across the board. Over in Britain it's a bit more awkward as the area code can be 3, 4, 5 or even 6 digits long with the total length of the number being 10 or 11 digits. How you quote your phone number is going to depend on how long your area code is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted August 29, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2018 Just because my mobile number is tricky with lots of 0s 1s and 9s, I've had to resort to a 4421. But landline and all previous numbers have been 533. I miss the days of 33, because everyone you knew had the same dialling code and no sod had mobiles.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted August 29, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2018 3-3-2-3. A new formation that I predict will take the league by storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted August 29, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2018 I’ve been liking all the 5-3-3 posts until @PJ Power pointed out the “memorable pairings” loophole and I realised I do my mobile as a 5-2-2-2. Landline is absolutely 5-3-3 though. As are all mobiles apart from my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mal the Glorious Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Depends on the number (some sound better than others different ways) but I'm 4-3-4 for mobile and 4-4-3 for landline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 29, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2018 The landline thing seems to vary quite a bit, though. Where my family in Yorkshire live, it makes sense to do 5-3-3 because the area code is 01924, but I'd imagine it's different for Liverpool, Manchester, or Glasgow, who have 01X1 codes (at least, I think so).

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted August 29, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2018 All depends on what numbers I have, weirdly enough. I remember sequences easier in certain patterns. So my old number was the standard 5-3-3, but now I use 4-4-3 for my new number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s also the only mobile number I know off by heart. Landline numbers, it depends on the area code. Darlington, the town I grew up in, is 01325 so I would recite numbers 5-3-3, but Newcastle (where I’ve lived for the past ~8 years) is 0191, so I’ll use a 4-3-4 pattern.

Keith Houchen Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Good points about having doubles and triples in the number. I guess you'd build the team around them to accommodate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted August 29, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2018 My hope is that Big Sam gives his phone formation as 4-4-2, despite this meaning that no one can ever actually contact him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
