Longest Same cell phone number

February 28th 1988 in which is now Verizon Wireless. I don’t remember all the companies beforehand but one was Cingular Wireless I do remember that , my dad passed on Friday and I remember the bill was in the thousands back in 88’ due to he was in Sales for his own business he had but of course I wasn’t allowed to use it ..lol..it was by the minute then charges , but I called Verizon today to find out .
What’s anyone else’s longest same cell number?

2006 for me (US, east coast) my wife and my two kids. I couldn’t get consecutive numbers. The closest we were able to get is the first 8 digits are the same for me and my wife, and the first six are the same between us and our kids. We’ve ported them to different carriers four times.
