My number is average but have had it for ages so not planning on changing it - bought some GOLD numbers before but managed to lose the Orange PIN so couldn't register it to my name, then lost the SIM cards, fail 
Now I bought a VOIP number with aql.co.uk (an 0203 one..) which diverts to my mobile in Malaysia - quite a good number and plenty to choose from with any prefix (although of course you have to pay the cost of the call diversion)

That is what happened to me. years ago now but always kept it.
Very nice as it contains a double and a triple then 4321.
I have recently completed a project at one of the big telecomms companies.
All these ones on Ebay, unless they are a REALLY special number will have been obtained by someone ordering thousands of pay as you go SIM cards and sifting through them, looking for any number that someone may like.

Come up with a memorable number, either via pattern or particular sequence, then ring it and see if the owner of the number will sell it to you. If it's not in use then see if you can request that number from the phone company.
Personally I don't really see the point in this since I can remember the top twenty or so numbers I normally use off the top of my head and my phonebook is there for the other numbers. Remembering a number isn't about the sequence or pattern of the digits but the priority assigned to it by the brain when committing it to memory. If your friends and family don't care about you then they won't remember your number

People would forget how many 3s there were.
It's worth €333333333.
really? 0 triple triple 3 is how i would remember it. I think its a really catchy number.
Any other views please?
Then you'd be one 3 short.....kinda proving the point that it's a crap number.
