Chapter 2: What tools can help you revisit your childhood home?
What was that? That's kind of cool. So you want to have it as your cell phone number.
Right. Yeah, I've moved all over the country, and I've now moved back to the state where I grew up. It's a slightly different location, but it is the same area code, at least, and I kind of need to... Everybody looks at me funny when I give them my current phone number because it's an out-of-state phone number.
Oh, I see. You know, error codes don't really mean too much anymore, really, because you can have any error codes you want. Well, of course, like you mentioned, you could call the person and say, Hi, this used to be my phone number like 30, 40 years ago, and I'd like to have it back. How do you feel about that? You could use reverse lookup service like White Pages. And there's also Anywho.
The other thing that you could do is just reach out to your phone provider and ask them if that number is available. Now, once you have the number, assume you're going to get the number. Okay, so then how do you get that onto your cell phone? Well, it's actually pretty easy. You can use a service like Google Voice.
And once you have that phone number, that landline number, because I doubt it's going to be a cell phone number, it's going to be a landline number, I'm sure. No, I'm sure, but I bet you it is. Is that you can pay Google 20 bucks and they will port that number to Google Voice. And so that this way you could have that phone number, but it would actually be a Google Voice number.
So long as the provider releases that number to you and then you can port it over to your mobile.

Chapter 3: How can Google Maps take you back in time?
You can also port it over to a VOP provider. But speaking of Google Voice, you know, Google Voice will let you have a phone number. And what they do is they when you go to sign up for Google Voice, they'll give you different area codes. And they'll say, okay, we have these numbers available in these area codes.
And you're like, okay, well, like a friend of mine, he has a 202, even though he lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, but a 202 area code because that's Washington, D.C.
Chapter 4: What features does Zillow offer for nostalgic home searches?
So when people say like, oh, so where can we reach you? He looks at it and goes, at my Washington, D.C. office. I'm like, really? Come on. So anyway, so with Google Voice, you might be able to get the number. I'm not sure. And then there's another service called Grasshopper. And with Grasshopper, they charge a monthly fee. Google Voice is free.
Chapter 5: How can Historic Aerials provide a view of neighborhood changes?
Grasshopper charges anywhere between $20 and $30 a month. That's where you can maybe get a phone number from there. But I just gave you a whole bunch of different options. Does all that make sense?
Yeah, yeah, I think so. Definitely something to look into because I didn't know if certain providers had certain allotments of phone numbers or how all that worked exactly. But it's a good way to try and move it forward a little bit.
But you know, with so many people getting rid of their landlines, it's probably a pretty good shot that that number just might be available to you. Okay, so how many of you, come on, how many of you, how many of us were able to remember our childhood phone number? Come on, think about it. 7270859. And I'm sorry if you live there, if you have that number. Don't call that number, folks.
That's not my number anymore. It was when I was a child. Hey, want to stay in the tech now without wasting your time?
