Try this:

1) What are the first 3 digits of your phone number? (do NOT include the area code)

2) Multiply by 80

3) Add 1

4) Multiply by 250

5) Add in the last four digits of phone number

6) Add in the last four digits of phone number again

7) Subtract 250

8) Divide by 2.

The answer will be your telephone number.

It also works for 8 digits number or more.

*1. Will be the first 4 digits or more. Instead of 3 digits.

Who can tell me why it works?!?!
