Hi
Some years ago I got a prepaid sim from a company (forgot name) and they allowed me to enter a few digits and offered me choices of mobile numbers containing those digits.
Does anyone know of any company still offering such a service ?
It was a new company and the deal was posted on OzBargain.
Getting a matching mobile number

What is it?
put up a joke number but took it down
Amaysim gives you an option to choose number of your choice bases on your input (1 to 5 digits).
You can purchase a gold number from Telstra, or a dodgy facebook seller.
I got a great number from a Telstra guy, a few years ago. He sat down with me and went through a bunch of available phone numbers looking for one with a bunch of duplicate numbers. I ended up with a great one.
I looked through the prepaid packs at my local big w and convenience shop to get mine.
I got my current mobile number through Tel$ra in a service request phone call about 10 or so years back.
Hy home number was 03 9tuv wxyz and was offered 04 4tuv wxyz.
So it's the same 7 numbers after 039 and 044 :-)
The real shame of this is that I have now moved to another area 03 5… …. and I have disconnected copper line and rejected VOIP, but the mobile is easy to remember.
As an aside, I also still have the last 6 digits of my original mobile number on another mobile from… a long time ago. After the system changes and many ports through different providers. So long ago I can't remember what the prefix was.
That sounds like a good service!
I remember when I got my mobile number in the late 90s and it just happened to have 7 out of the 10 digits as either a 4 or a 5 which makes it quick to roll off the tongue. People often ask if it is a legit number when I tell them.
