Looking fo r a word
Hi. I am looking for a word which describes a number that is very straightforward and easy to remember.
Ex. My phone number is very........It's 333355666.

You're going to laugh, but I hear (and use) this: I had telephone service installed yesterday, and I was very lucky to get a good number. So good works. The more standard term is memorable .

- You can also say My number is easy to remember , which is also very commonly said.
- straightforward makes sense as well, but I don't think I've ever heard catchy used in that context.

If you google "exclusive phone numbers" then you'll find you can pay quite a lot for them..

dave_anongoogle "exclusive phone numbers"I did this, and I have to say that I don't think it has anything to do with what the OP was talking about. The OP just means numbers with an easy to remember pattern, even if it's just your own humble not-very-exclusive home number.

Just a reference to my favorite British Sitcom....

Ha!
I had to run that through google before I understood it!
Yes, I do like that sitcom
It's a celebrity number - a golden number - maybe a cherished number: it's a deal; it's a steal...
