When my mother passed in 2005, our home phone number passed into history.

987-2081

Back before you had to start dialing 404 in Atlanta. We moved from that house 34 years ago. The next house was 770-785-9514. We lived there until about 2001, while I was in college. I don't remember the next house, which is strange since it is more recent. But by that time, we used cell phones a lot more.

216-361-7671
turned into
216-361-3108
when phone companies merged.


that's from the 70s to last year. my parents finally ditched the land line last year.

I remember our home phone from before my parents divorced in 1975, and the "new" number that lasted until I sold the house in 1991. The phone numbers conger old memories growing up in the 60's and 70's.

My mom still has the same phone number as when I was a kid. It will fade away when she passes away.

As I recall, in the 40s, Mertzon Texas had only about 70 phones... you would give the operator a 2 digit number on "Number, please!" The Operator might well say - Betty is over at Mabels's. Do you want me to ring there?

Growing up in Roswell, NM the number was
"Main 2 -2627" that remained until my mother passed in the 90s.

Our phone in Mertzon was on the wall, with a speaker you removed from its cradle! It was a wooden box!!

My parents kept same land line for 60+ years. I was tempted to port it to cell phone when my father passed but that only made sense for sentimental reasons. I am curious who has it now.

Yeah, I'm living in my childhood home right now with the same phone number. My mom passed away last year and everyone that would know that phone number is long gone, so I mostly pay 30 bucks a month to get spam calls because of my nostalgia and laziness, but I'll ditch it one of these days.

When my wife and I got married and moved back to the town we had grown up in, the number from my teens was available and we had it for another 10 years. We left communist CT in 2004 and relocated to TN for my second stint and this has been the longest tenure in one place by double digits. Funny, I remember learning the first number in kindergarten.

Ours was 841-0286. My Mom had that number from the 1950s till she went into assisted living in the 2010s.

We had a party line and you never knew when you picked up the phone if you were going to be hearing anohter conversation.

When I went away to college at a rural Illinois school, everyone had the same area code and there only a couple of similar prefixes. So, to make a call all you needed to do was dial the last 5 numbers.

LIncoln(54)6-4031 (area code 206) was the first one I remember.

We moved just a short distance (4 blocks south) when I was 6 or so and number was changed to 546-1928 and that was still the house number when I headed off to the Marines after HS.

GArfield 6-8913.

As a child our number was 209M, the M indicting a party line. My grandparents had a private line and it was 14.

I can’t remember my childhood home number but I do remember the number my grandmother had when I was a child: 753-2805.
