how many of us remembers our 'friend code" right off the top of my head?

You never had one ;)

Do you remember your phone number? Your cell number? Uhhhhh... it's reallyyyyy hard...

My cell number is 027 (carrier) xxx5419 or 7 digits plus one of 3 carrier identifiers. A friend code is 12 digits long. Most people can only reasonably remember 7 digits which is why the phone numbers are only typically around that long.

American cell phone numbers are usually ten digits with the area code, sometimes with an extra number in front for dialing really long distances. I don't think it's too much to memorize 12 digits, and codes will most likely be exchanged over the internet where it's always on hand, so I don't see it as too big of a deal.
