    That is pretty good. You will certainly get something for it on ebay :).

    Some of the numbers people sell on ebay are terrible (L@@K - ALL THE FOURS 079*4 46*44* BUY IT NOW - BEST ON EBAY etc.) and they still get bids. Yours is very good.

    Thanks, I have a few sim cards that I have collected over the past few months, I was going to sell them all as one lot until I noticed people selling them as gold numbers> I did think that one was different. Only trouble now is selling it (its on Virgin)

    I have two which I think could be golden. **999 001234 and 001233
    Are they golden? I find them very easy to remember.
    Isn't it a bit silly to post the numbers on here :confused:
