Phone Number Value Estimator

Premium Phone Number Valuation: The Cultural Value in Digits

A mobile number ending in 6666 might be valued at 8,800 yuan in our tool, while a random, irregular number might only be worth a few hundred. Phone numbers have long been more than just caller IDs. In Chinese culture, people prefer digits like 8, 6, and 9, and avoid the phonetic taboos of 4 and 7, giving rise to the "premium number" culture. Carriers also treat rare combinations as premium resources, forming an informal value system based on prefix rarity, sequence length, and special patterns (like AABB, ABCD). This tool follows this popular perception, breaking down the number into dozens of scoring dimensions to provide an easy-to-understand reference value—it doesn't represent the actual transaction price, but it lets you see the potential "net worth" of your number at a glance.

How to Use This Tool to Estimate Value?

Open the page, and you will see a very straightforward layout:

1. Find the input box: Locate the input box labeled "Mobile Number" in the center and type your 11-digit phone number directly into it.
2. Enter the complete number: For example, 13966668888. You must enter exactly 11 digits without spaces or dashes.
3. Click the "Estimate Value" button: Click the button below the input box, and a valuation result card will pop up on the right or below.
4. View the valuation result: The card prominently displays the "Estimated Value" and lists key bonus points (e.g., "AAAA sequence +2,400 yuan" or "Contains 4 deduction -300 yuan"), letting you know exactly where value is added or deducted.
5. Try another number: Clear the input box or simply enter a new number, then click the button again to re-evaluate. There are no usage limits.

The entire process requires no login or personal information. The number you enter is only used for this calculation and will not be stored.

Full Example: How Much is 13966668888 Worth?

Let's walk through the complete process using a typical "mid-tier premium number."

Number: 13966668888

Action: Enter 13966668888 into the "Mobile Number" input box and click "Estimate Value."

Result: The valuation card displays 12,800 yuan, along with the breakdown:

• Ending AAAA (8888) super sequence, +8,000 yuan
• Middle AAAA (6666) sequence, +4,000 yuan
• 139 prefix (classic legacy prefix), +800 yuan
• No digit 4, no deductions

Interpretation: This number contains two AAAA-level sequences and belongs to the early 139 prefix. In the premium number market, it is an "instantly recognizable as expensive" contender, pushing its total estimated value over 10,000 yuan. If we only looked at the ending 8888 without the preceding 6666, the estimate would drop to around 8,000 yuan. This shows how significantly combination rarity impacts value.

More Examples: Premium Number Differences at a Glance

Let's look at two comparison numbers to see how extreme values change the outcome.

• Standard Number 13812345678: The estimated value is about 680 yuan. Although the number has a continuous digit segment of 1234567, it is not a distinct "straight" sequence, lacks significant repeating patterns like AAAA, and has a very common prefix. It can only be considered a slightly unique everyday number.
• High-Value Premium Number 18888888888: The estimated value skyrockets to 88,000 yuan. The entire number is almost completely filled with 8s, features an AAAAA-level ending sequence, and uses the highly desirable 188 prefix, making it a top-tier number. If listed on a secondhand platform, this type of number would attract massive attention.
• Edge Case 13044444444: Despite having a sequence of six 4s at the end, the severe penalty for the digit 4 suppresses the estimated value to 1,200 yuan. This tells us that the weight of a sequence also depends on the meaning of the digits themselves—a sequence made entirely of 4s actually lowers the value.

You can run all the above tests directly in our tool. The input box is right at the top; just enter a number to see its corresponding value.

Interpreting the Estimated Value: Where Does Your Number Rank?

After seeing the estimated value, you can compare it against the ranges below to quickly understand your number's "tier":

Note that this is just a fun classification based on popular preferences. Actual transaction prices are also influenced by carrier transfer policies, region, and whether the number is tied to a specific plan. So don't treat the estimate as cash; think of it more as an "attractiveness score" for your number.

Typical Use Cases for Phone Number Valuation

Choosing a New Number: If you are about to register a new number and want to pick the most "prestigious" one from a few candidates, use this tool to compare their values in advance. It helps you filter out the one with the most pleasing ending and the highest value.

Selling an Idle Number: If you have an unused premium number that you want to list on a secondhand platform, use the tool first to check its reference value. Having a baseline price in mind prevents buyers from lowballing you too heavily.

Fun Competitions with Friends: During gatherings, have everyone check their phone numbers to see whose is the most "valuable." The loser buys the drinks—this has become a new social game among young people.

Common Misuses and Important Notes

1. Treating the estimate as the transaction price: All results from this tool are for fun reference only. Real transactions depend on whether the carrier supports ownership transfer, if the number is tied to a plan, and negotiation room between parties. Never use the estimated value directly for payments.

2. Entering non-11-digit numbers: Mainland Chinese mobile numbers are 11 digits long. If you only enter 10 digits or add an area code, the calculator will prompt "Please enter a valid 11-digit mobile number" and will not generate a result.

3. Ignoring regional differences in digit culture: The valuation rules are based on general digit preferences, but different regions have slight variations in their favorite numbers (e.g., Guangdong has a stronger preference for 3 and 8). The tool cannot reflect all local customs and is for reference only.

4. Assuming "valuable" means it can be sold anytime: Premium number transactions are restricted by carrier policies. Not all numbers can be freely transferred, and most premium numbers on the market are bound by contract periods. This tool does not provide matchmaking services for transactions and assumes no transaction risks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the phone number valuation actually accurate?
A: It acts more like a "cultural valuation model," providing a reference score based on popular preferences for digit combinations rather than a strict financial model. Transaction prices can vary wildly across different trading platforms, so we position the results as a fun reference.

Q: My number contains a 4. Does that mean it's definitely worthless?
A: Not necessarily. As superstitions around numbers fade, a single 4 in a standard combination has very little impact. However, if multiple 4s appear consecutively, or if the number ends in 4, the deductions will indeed lower the overall estimated value.

Q: Can I estimate the value of an international number or a 10-digit number?
A: No. This tool is specifically designed for 11-digit mobile numbers in mainland China. It currently does not support other lengths or international prefixes, and entering them will trigger a format error prompt.

Q: How are the bonus points in the valuation result calculated?
A: The tool scans the number across dozens of dimensions, such as sequence length (e.g., 888, AAAA), special patterns (AABB, ABAB), prefix scarcity, and whether it contains unlucky digits. Each dimension has a preset score, which is accumulated and converted into a reference amount. You can see explanations for key bonus or deduction points on the result card.

Q: My number was estimated at a high price. How can I sell it?
A: If you genuinely intend to sell, you can check the market on secondhand phone number
