Gold Numbers - How can they help us?

Remembering contact information is becoming an increasing problem in today's ever growing technological world. Our lives are hectic and stressful, and
to add to this everyone now has several points of contact - a mobile number, home land line number, email address - time has come to streamline communications wherever possible and take some of the burden off our minds, and this is where a Gold Number - an easy to remember mobile number, can help.

Gold Numbers - Why do they vary in price so much?

There has been many articles reporting on memorable mobile phone numbers, and their investment value has been compared to car registration numbers. Just like car registration numbers, mobile numbers can vary vastly in price. Overall throughout the internet, these easy to remember mobile numbers are generally referred to as Gold Numbers, but are often given other titles...

Gold numbers, platinum numbers… and many other precious metal or precious stone titles are often applied to mobile numbers - what is the difference?

Essentially it is just a method if applying a level of value to a group of mobile numbers. All of these terms are used to describe memorable mobile phone numbers for which there is now a very active market.
Grade names for mobile numbers are not limited to Gold or Platinum, they can include Bronze, Silver, Ruby, Diamond, Titanium or even Special, Unique, Elite, Metallic, VIP etc., the choice of grade title is often a preference of the retailer to show individuality, but still relates to the position of the mobile number in the ladder of valuation.

How is this value defined?

All mobile numbers are graded by the quantity of similar numbers in circulation and demand. A couple of times each year, a 5 digit mobile number prefix is issued by the authorities to each of the UK networks; Orange, T-Mobile, Virgin, o2, Vodafone etc. They each receive a 5 digit prefix to use on their network to enable them to release a new supply of mobile phone numbers to the public. Each network then adds the remaining 6 digits to the prefix to complete the 11 digits of a mobile phone number. Knowing this, you can see there are not going to be many Platinum Numbers available that end in say 111111, or 777888 for example. Therefore, as there are not many Platinum Numbers made available, and not that many in circulation from previous prefix issues, their value is higher.
First of all consider this - why do you want a Gold Number?
