Instead of always changing numbers i have my main Contract number which everyone who knows me has and its the one i give when i meet someone and then i have a Pre-paid sim which ONLY close friends and family have. Ive had both numbers for about 3years now, works fine for me.

I've only had two numbers (since going on contract). The first i had for 6years and then the number i've got now.
Although i got a very good deal at the time by changing networks, It suprised me, outside friends & family etc how many other people i realised i would have to notify at the time (bank, work etc) Only now am i managing to remember it and not blurt out my old number when asked! So for that reason alone i would pull out all the stops to avoid changing/porting again.
On the note of unusual/cool numbers, a lad i knew at collage (a good few years ago now) had his number as 0****AAACCC and was always getting asked how much he'd sell that for.

I've kept mine as long as possible. I've had 5 numbers in 12 years (going back to Analog), but I've had my current number for the last 7 years. I had the number before that for 3 years, but when I changed networks they wouldn't let me keep my number (going from prepaid to a plan). Since then Australian govt. legislated for number portability, meaning networks now are obliged to port your old number to new accounts. This was to encourage competition, as networks were using the refusal to port numbers as a means of keeping customers on their own networks.

Yes, with number portability you have the option to stick to the same number irrespective of the network you choose. Quite a good idea. It will be introduced here in India by the beginning of the next year. As for me, I am using the same number since I had a mobilephone and it ends with 007

I think people who interchange numbers lack an element of honesty.
I have a friend who switches numbers like hell. He is always on money scandals
I prefer having two phones and two numbers. Id ratherer have the other one in voicemail diverts.

Well that might be true, but lets not generalise. To say that people who frequently change numbers lack "honesty" will be a tad over the top. There must be folks who genuinely have reasons to change numbers. For some, they might simply get bored with the same numbers??

my first two numbers only lasted for less than a year. after that i've finally settled on my latest mumber and having it for three years. in fact i've had three phones that used that number(hopefully it'd come to four soon) and have no intent of changing it since this network has the cheapest data plan, charging per half hour instead of KBs.
EDIT:We can't port numbers as networks here have the rights to their respective codes. eg. smart has the right to have: +63919 - +63921, globe has the right over: +63917 - i'm not sure.
