This will only work for US based phone numbers.
1. Key into the calculator the first 3 digits of your phone number (not area code).
2. Multiply by 80
3. Add 1
4. Multiply by 250
5. Add last 4 digits of your phone number
6. Add last 4 digits of your phone number again
7. Subtract 250
8. Lastly, divide by 2
Is this your phone number???

x = first three numbers of phone number
y = last four numbers

Seen this way it's pretty simple that the first three digits of your phone number time 10000 + the last four digits equals the original number!
