My Mom has had the same one for at least 65 years, kinda. It started as a Melrose number , then went to a 303 area code, then a 719. I have had mine for 24 years or more.
how long have you had the same number?

I have had mine for over 20 years. I also have a rotary phone in my garage and it works.

Had our number for about 27 years, before anything other than a 303 area code. Keep the rotary phone, they work even during power outages.
