+1!
I used to have a pager with the number 680-0768.
Naturally, I always gave the number out as "68 double-0 7 68". It was
a lot easier for *me* to remember that way ... but it did seem to fuse
a few cerebellums for not fitting into the 'standard' format!
I also used to work for a company who's main inbound number was (at
least when I said it) 1 800 800 800 1. A lot of people thought that
was a fake number too.
