Getting a Prefered HP Number

This time in my quest to look for a new and nice handphone number, I've learnt a little bit more. 

First, you can join the crowd at Bugis to look through this whole board of golden numbers. After five minutes you would realise that majority of the crowd comprising uncles and aunties aren't genuine buyers. They just wanted to get 'inspiration' to buy 4D.

Second, you can really buy your preferred number from the telcos! Starhub's usually ranges from about $48 to $488, M1's usually from $30 to $500 and if you are feeling rich, you can also try to bid for Starhub's golden numbers at $488 and $888 upwards.

Third, a number ending with three same digits eg. 1112, is worth more than 1221 and 1212. Apparently three same digits are the max you can get for normal/premium number (unless you bid for golden number).

I was looking for something along the line of 747. You know i enjoy inflight experience right? Kind of. wouldn't mind 15 as well.

So... I figured M1 actually has the most 'picky buyer-friendly' system where you could just search for your preferred number on their website. 

A 747 kind of number would set me back $160.50.

And a 4777 would cost $214. Plus point! Got 15 and 747(sort of) in the number!

Okay after all these research and calling telco hotlines, I just want to tell you i've changed my number.. and i bought a 4777 from Starhub instead 😂 cheaper 

Don't worry, i'm not being harassed by loan sharks. I changed number because I had the same number for 14 years already and felt that i might as well get a number i like and stick to it. Moreover, my new number is easier for you to remember :)
