When I was a kid, our phone number at one point was 221-1333, which still sounds fake to me

01 811 8055

USA-1000

My phone number 1977 to 1984 (612-722-4765). Childhood zip code as well (55417).

01 811 8055

Oh man, the number of times I called that number only to get the engaged tone. Never did get through.

0141 887 7194.

All the postcodes of every address I've ever lived.

I can remember my childhood phone number as well as both of my weed dealers from high school. I don't really want to post any of those here in full, but for one of the other guys', the last 4 numbers were 2833 (which using the letters on the keypad spelled BUDD).

oh jeez that live and kicking one (I think it was also used on going live?) ... childhood officially ended on PhONEday

ISY 09T: license plate number of a car that backed into my mom in the K-Mart parking lot

636-1280: phone number of a kid from my class who told me to call him when I got home to set up a time for me to come to his house and help him beat Legend of Zelda - I repeated the number over and over in my head as I rode my bike home so I wouldn't forget it

HMA 410G - Uncle's pale blue Vauxhall Viva
MCC 618 - the red and white Hillman Husky which preceded it
AMA 655S - the blue Austin Allegro my brother passed his test in

Plus a load of phone numbers I won't post here :)

phone number: 39074 which had a 5 added to it in the late 80's early 90's. There was also a rotary padlock on the phone so luckily we never had a house fire while home alone.

I have to really wrack my brain to remember even the names of the last several streets I lived on but I can still remember every complete address from every house we lived in from like age 6 through age 12 (we moved a lot so there were several).

This thread reminded me of the local time + temperature number I used to call all the time as a kid (I couldn't quite remember the entire number but I was close). Lo and behold the thing still exists 30+ years later. For the seniors who still use phones to do things, I assume.

722027 was the name and phone no. of a lighting and sound equipment shop in oxford, not that i ever had any cause to visit or ring but it was painted large on their shop front. Still in business, but with a different phone number.

oh nine oh double one ten fifty ... ten

Garfield 1-2323

I can also remember many of the home phone numbers I regularly dialled when I was 11, but not my wife's current mobile number.

(I know this has become meme-ified in subsequent years but I actually saw and recorded this when I was a kid and used to watch it endlessly because it always cracked me up.)

i still remember my middle school crush's phone number

some friends of mine (twin brothers) phone number ended in 6699 and I've always thought that should have gotten more lolz than it did when we were 12 years old

I can remember my home phone number and the reg of the family car from the early 80s but I'm not posting them as that makes them good potential secret question answers.

0898 60 60 60

YDD 44 - grey morris minor. i seem to remember we once parked in a huge car park next to an almost identical car that was one digit different

SAD 180G - hillman minx? is that even a thing? yes. image search turns up all sorts, but this would've been a '67 or '68 which are the boxiest, least-Noddy of them all.

> 69!

does that MOT record mean it's still on the road? it was grey, but not sure if it was dark or light (the moggy was light grey)

No, it’s not still on the road. Separate gov.uk tool shows its tax ran out in 1985.

don't heritage cars not need tax?

> Vehicles exempt from vehicle tax
> If your vehicle was built before 1 January 1981, you can stop paying vehicle tax from 1 April 2021.

anything over 40 years doesn't need taxing. or rather it does need taxing but you don't need to pay for it. so that's not the case here (and wouldn't've been for a 68 car in 85) so it's dead. and died so young!

I looked up the only family car whose plate I could remember, an Escort registered in 1977, and it shows as untaxed from even earlier in ‘85, so your Minx didn’t do too badly. Thinking about it, ours was nicked so I guess that’s where it met its end.

there must been other cars, but i can only remember a white mini cooper other than those, and that was years ago. my brother would get pulled over by the police on a weekly basis driving that - it made him look underage

I remember the IP address of a counterstrike server I used in the late 90s. I have used it as a password a number of times.
