"Phone numbers are fascinating. Is that sentiment a little over the top? Perhaps. That is unless you give the concept some thought. Rather than reviewing the history of phone numbers, which in and of itself is miraculous, let's look at phone numbers today.
We live in a world where pure collaboration no longer exists. People disagree just for the sake of disagreeing. Yet somehow, countries across the globe can agree upon an international numbering system for billions of phones.
Phone number statistics are astonishing. For example, in North America, there are a total of 7,970,000,000 possible phone numbers. Given that North America has 10-digit phone numbers, shouldn't there be 10^10 (10 to the 10th power) total phone numbers, which equals 10 billion possible phone numbers?
What happened to the other 2 billion+ phone numbers? I'll leave that permutation in the hands of my readers. If you can't figure it out, drop me an email at chase@hashtagcodes.com."

Certainly! Here's the rewritten text:
It's a fact that there are more telephones and telephone numbers in the United States than there are people. We all have multiple phone numbers - cell phones, home phones, work phones, and even secret burner phones. It's interesting to think about how many phone numbers we still carry in our heads, even though we don't need to anymore. I still remember the phone numbers of my childhood friends from before we had cell phones.
Over the last 30 years, the world has seen significant changes in phone number requirements. The rise of cell phones resulted in an unexpected need for more phone numbers. Additionally, the introduction of cable, broadband, wireless internet, and fax machines also led to an increase in phone numbers. Our demand for phone numbers has grown immensely, and we're on track to exhaust the supply of phone numbers created in the 1940s and 50s by 2025.
However, a simple solution exists - adding an extra digit to phone numbers can create an abundant supply that will last indefinitely. Toll-free numbers have also revolutionized business communication since their invention in 1967 by Roy Weber, an AT&T employee. Businesses now use toll-free numbers not only in the United States but also for free international calls.
With the advent of virtual PBX and VoIP, employees can receive inbound calls from toll-free numbers from anywhere in the world. Thanks to internet access, the location of a caller is no longer easily identifiable by their area code.
In today's world, phone numbers have evolved significantly, yet they remain fundamentally unchanged. Despite these changes, businesses still prioritize having memorable phone numbers. A memorable phone number is one that people can easily remember and share with others, making it easier for them to get in touch. Ultimately, an easy-to-remember phone number is a powerful tool for generating leads and driving business growth.
Of the hundreds of millions of phone numbers in the US, there are only 12 #code phone numbers. And of those phone numbers,
So you have to ask yourself, in a world where a memorable phone number can turn a business into a publicly traded company, like 800.Mattress, or be the source of millions of calls like 800.Flowers, or 800.Lawyers. How valuable could the easiest of all phone numbers to remember, like #4Law, or #Easy, be to your business?
The best word that I can think of to describe what a branded #code phone number would mean to any business that wants a memorable phone number is "magnificent."
That’s why no one has ever disputed that, despite the fact that phone numbers are magnificent, there are no other phone numbers in existence that can positively impact a business like a #code.
