Seriously, who even has a good old Rolodex or phone book?
If my cell or PC was dead, it would be tough!

I know my next door neighbor's number and my main fishing partner's number. Other then that, I have to look them up.

Oh, I do know my own home phone number!!:D

LOL. Why no 0 percent?

I'm pre alzheimers, so I'll be lucky to remember my own, which I sometimes have to stop and think. DW phone no is one digit below mine as are the kids one below hers.
There is just too much obscure info to remember anymore, without help.

If I did not have my iphone, I'd probably have400 pieces of paper laying around with "stuff" written on them.

The wife's cell is pretty well established in my hard drive from my time overseas.
The folks is still set since it hasn't changed in sixty-five years. Twenty of those years, it was my number.

I did have to think about the TX home phone number the other day, since it's usually just a button on my phone.:redface:

Re: Who could remember all their friends phone numbers without their cell phone or em

I know by heart the ones that matter most.;)

All of the phone numbers we call/need are on the side of the fridge and on file in the desk. Also, the home phone is hooked up (the ringers are turned off though, so don't call it:p) but only for the reason that if a cell phone dies or is not handy and there is an emergency, there is still a phone near by with numbers.

OMG, I actually have all my family/friends phone numbers written down on a piece of paper in my wallet! Imagine that?! (I also don't have a cell phone.)

Backup, Backup, Backup.

I've had too many phones completely fail to not have a paper backup.

With almost every phone or carrier, you can backup the phone electronically. No need for a paper backup.

Re: Who could remember all their friends phone numbers without their cell phone or em

I answered 25%, which is a load of BS since I have over 600 numbers on my cell phone. Include 0% and that's where I'd be.

Mom's home (because it was mine for 15 years)
Girlfriends cell (because we live together and we need it for some verifications)

Out of about 680 numbers programmed, I know 2 by memory. Oh yeah, and my own.

I rely on Google address book since I have the Droid phone. Take my phone and Internet and I'd be outta luck!

Just reviewed what it would take to print from Google... 85 pages :eek:. Maybe I can sort into ones I care about. Which sister? :D

I have been going with my GF for 2 years and don't even know any of her numbers by heart!

Exactly, with multiple off site backups there's virtually no need for paper.

All you need is Gmail, and a good phone. You can lose your phone and your PC and still be golden.
