mruane: Interesting question, more importantly how many do we actually need!

I have no idea why I am following this geekiest of threads. But here I am posting now...

I reckon that I have close to the average number of numbers.

Home DDI
Work DDI
Work Mobile

And if TCL did unbundling, and my work thought it was a good idea to save money, then I feel I would only need one number. That being my work Mobile.

But in saying this, they would still probably need to tie my Mobile to a landline number on the PABX, so I'd still probably have two.

scottjpalmer: Who has the least?

TelstraClear: landline

Vodafone: work/personal mobile/mobile broadband

That's it. Not even a work DDI.

Actually I should have a fax and data number on the mobile - how old fashioned - but I haven't used them for many years.

2x Vodafone mobile
1x Telecom mobile
2x Auckland Voip numbers via 2talk
1x USA 1-800
1x USA 1-209 (in san andreas)
1x Work DDI

I also am responsible for a telephone system with approx 2200 extns, 700 of which are DDIs (I know it doesn't count but thought I'd mention it) :)

PS - Even though I have lots of numbers, one of my 2talk numbers I use as a 'pointer' with their one number service to ring my home/work/mobile for friends and family. that way they don't have to keep track of what phone i'm using.
