I always have this problem of telling people my phone number which consists of a series of repeating numbers:
184 555 5555 (DO NOT CALL, this is just as an example)
I can tell people it is:
- one eight four, five five five, five five five five, or;
- one eight four, five, double five, double five, double five, or;
- one eight four, five, triple five, triple five, or;
- one eight four, five, sextuple five.
Is there a prescribed way or a widely practised method of transcribing long repeating phone numbers?
