When's the last time anyone actually dialed a phone number by hand into their own phone? These days, you just click a tel: URL and the phone number is in your dialer, ready to go.
So the idea that shorter dialing codes would ever be a hot commodity seems pretty far fetched.

I'm sure this is a rarity these days, but it's actually really important to memorize at least a few important phone numbers of all kinds so they're accessible no matter what as long as you're conscious and able to communicate to people around you. It's actually sort of shocking how few people remember even their most basic, daily use numbers (parents, wife, husband, kids, kid's school etc) and would be helpless to call anyone crucial if they lost their phone and also have an emergency. Bad idea that.
