  When we moved to Hilliard, we went through two phone numbers in three months
  
  First number used to belong to a contractor who had gone bankrupt. NASTY calls from his creditors - Ohio Bell changed the number free of charge in less than three weeks.
  
  Second number was the same as the local Blockbuster Video except that the last two numbers were reversed. We were getting 3-4 wrong number calls a day on weekends. I got tired of it - to the point that I would gladly reserve a movie or a game for a pushy caller. I'd guess we sentt a couple hundred people down there to pick up their "reserved item".
  
  After that, have had the same number since 1997.
  
  My Dad had the same number from 1962 until 2010.

  Had Sprint since I was about 15, so I had that # for almost 9 years... Recently changed to VZW to grab the iPhone and decided to change my number completely to start fresh... That way, I could once again control who had my # and who didn't...
  
  
  So I've had my current # since the iPhone came out on VZW. Don't even remember when that was LOL.

  I really don't know. I think for quite a while. I got my first cell phone when I was 24. (airtouch!) I switched to sprint because they had much better plans, but I live out in BFE and I could never get a signal so I switched back and have had the same number ever since.

  I've had the same cell phone number since I got my first real (non-Tracfone) cell phone my sophomore year of high school... so it's been 9 years.

  Am I not understanding that correctly?
  
  I've had the same home number since 1990 when I move back to Ohio.

  
  For the most part that is correct. To port a landline to a cell phone that cell phone has to have a presence in that area. For instance I would not be able to take my home number (if I had one) and port it to like Cincinnati bell, Cricket, and a myriad of companies because they do not have anythin glocal. Also the landline needs to have a contrat to do so. A small, local landline does have have such a contract and and cannot port their home numbers over. I am not sure that is legal but anyways.
  
  More and more people are keeping their cell phone numbers even when they were moving out of state and such. We used to get people weekly who had moved to the area and wanted to change their cell number to a local number but now that rarely happens. People are more and more using cell phone as their only phone number and dont want to change it. Also, people used to change it so landlines could call them locally, but with everyone have cell phones it does not matter.
  
  
  
  I have had mine for probably 7=8 years. I was the first to get the exchange as I tested it for a couple of months before it being released.
