    How do you know if they are a golden number without opening the packs?

    Because the packets(except Vodafone and Orange) have the phone number written on the outside.
    (A golden number is a mobile number that is really easy to remember i.e
    07701234568 or something along those lines)

    What about consecutive phone numbers, I have sets of 4 where just the last number is different?

    They arent much use to one person, they look good together but one person or company will be usually be using 1 mobile number so they arent worth any more than non consecutive sims :(

    Thanks for info just checked mine against the word checker but no golden numbers - I'll stick to £2 each down the boot.

    i get the occasional gold but none to awesome- ive sold two individually for £30 each but that is as good as it got. You have to buy in bulk to get golds, search ebay for ones with really low prices, or be very lucky with the freebies
