If a phone breaks or is replaced I simply move my SIM card with all my contacts and my phone number attached to it.

In Japan numbers can be assigned two or three sounds, and people remember numbers by forming them into words ("goroawase"). Some numbers that appear hard to remember to us are easy for Japanese. For instance, "4649" can be pronounced "yoroshiku," which is a very common word (used in polite requests) and is in high demand for phone numbers by businesses. “Hard to remember” might have been partly true.
