What is a memorable number?
A memorable telephone number - also known as a golden, special or vanity number - is memorable because of repeating digits, an easily remembered sequence or some significance to the digits for that company. A perfect example of a memorable number would be Hastings Directs’ number 0800 00 10 66. Through owning the right memorable number and a simple jingle, a generation of potential customers has grown up singing Hastings Directs’ number on a daily basis.
