212 - 917- 347- 718- 646 - 914- 516 - 201- 973 - 631 - 203 who the hell cares!!!!!!

With Cellphones, I'm shocked people can even remember people's phone numbers anymore....I can only remember my own and the 7 people on my account with me. Everyone else I dont have clue, because i just scroll to the name and hit "Talk"..Once you 1st add a phone number to your contacts, is probably the last time you come in contact with the number....

ha! good post. i've had about 5 of those area codes in my lifetime. talk about a trip down memory lane

i still have 646 for my cell phone

"I wish that I had a 212 number, because that is the classic, glamorous New York number," said Gabrielle Nadig, 21, of Gramercy Park.
Zazie Beetz, 17, of Harlem, said the city's fifth area code, introduced in 1999, is remote enough.

I was told by my mother that my great grandmother used to live where the UN building is now. I'm trying to find out if there were any apartment buildings at that location around say 1900-1910 but so far have not had any luck. Heh, I think my family lived in NY before there were telephones ROFL.

Except for the rents, lol.
