The only two phone numbers I know by memory are my current one and my wife's current one. Wild to me that you still know your childhood phone number

I guess it was etched on my mind at an impressionable age. The only other number I know is my grandmother's, but it never changed.

Yeah it's this. It's because you used to have to remember it to give it out (to friends!) and fill out various forms.
I remember mine easily. 3573439!

Phone numbers I know by heart:

my childhood phone number from more than twenty years ago
my mom's work number from twenty years ago
my childhood best friend's home number (actually still his parent's number)
my ex-girlfriend's cell number (still her number, but we broke up over ten years ago)
my current cell phone number
my mom's current cell phone number

I have like 7-8 numbers memorized. My dad's cell is still on a post-it note on the back of a cabinet door in my parent's kitchen. It's been hanging there for probably 30 years.

I do not know my girlfriend's phone number. I have the vague notion that there are more than 2 sevens in the back half. Let me check

I was right

Growing up in a rural area, there was a like 20 mile square radius where everyone's number stated with the same three digits. You could call those numbers with just the last four numbers.
