I always check again when numbers are involved whether I know I'm right or I'm unsure. Phone message numbers are always terrible, since no one seems to say numbers slowly and you have to listen to the message repeatedly to make sure.
When dialing phone numbers, unless I've dialed a number many, many times, the only memory aid would be to look at the keypad moreso than remember the actual numbers. If I do have to remember numbers, I can usually get all 7 on the first go, but I check anyways.
Also, me too with Japanese and focusing on what the numbers are. I always have to remember: "ichi-ni-san-yon-go-roku-nana-hachi-kyu-ju..." or the same for any other language because I especially have trouble quickly remembering numbers after the five mark in most cases:
Tagalog: "isa-delawa-tatlo-apat-lima-anim-pito-walo-sham-sampo"
French: "un-deux-trois-quatre-cinq-six-sept-huit-neuf-dix"
German: "ein-zwei-drei-vier-funf-sechs-sieben-acht-neun-zehn"
etc. should these ever come up in context.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
