...would you be able to call if you lost your cell phone?

In other words, I can only remember a handful of numbers of the numerous contacts on my phone. Maybe 6. I know some home phone numbers but I'd be shit out of luck on the cell contacts.

In fact, I should back that file up.

My cell fell in salt water and I remembered 30 of around 100. I guess the other 70 didn't matter.

My only savior on the cell phone death spin has been an old phone that I kept for no good reason, or so I thought.

my house, mom's house and wifes cell. I used to be like a human phone book. Give me a phone number and I could remember it. Once cell phones came along I don't even bother looking at them. I just put them in and store. Although I do keep an excell spreadsheet at work and update any knew numbers.
