mobile number - golden numbers

Has anyone got a link to one of those sites where you can find out whether your mobile number could be worth something i.e. whether it spells something useful.

Thanks :beer:

    if you google it you should be able to find one...its also a golden number if its an extremely easy number lik 07773 773773 or consecutive numbers like 07773 123 345, there are lots of numbers which are suppose to be golden numbers..i had one once which would have been worth a lot of money but my daughter had it until someone stole her phone...

    Sorry to hear that hun.
    Just a thought; if it was recent, can't you transfer your number to a new sim. My ex used to loose his phones quite often & was able to ring provider to get number put on a different sim. (Sorry to be brief don't know the ins & outs but know it can be done)
    Good luck x

    I had some last year and couldn't sell them (everyone said Ebay, but the prices there now make it pointless)....

    Well, yes. Memorable would be a better term than gold or sliver I guess (0777 X0 X0 777 for example). I think the gold/silver thing is just to give them some kind of implied worth…
