What is your favorite number?
Once you’re assigned a phone number, you own it. “Rent” would probably be the better word because if you stop paying your phone bill, you lose the number. While you’re still paying, though, that’s exclusively your number for telecommunication purposes. It’s almost like you have a trademark on it. If somebody wants your number badly enough, I’m sure you could sell it to them—or in legal parlance, lease them the rights. If we see our phone number in non-telecommunication uses, we can’t call up lawyers demanding they write a cease-and-desist letter or threaten a lawsuit like we could if we held an actual trademark. Say you open a new account in the Bronx and get assigned the phone number 929-979-2458. When you realize the speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s, you can’t sue the International Bureau of Weights and Measures for infringing on your phone number with my favorite number. Instead, you’ll likely share your coincidental findings on Instagram and X, phonetically typing, “Whaddah de ahds, sun?” Well, the Bronx has 5 active area codes, with 0 and 1 excluded as the first digit after the area code. Deadass 40,000,000-to-1. Those mad odds, son!
