I thought pi hadn't been proven to be normal, only conjectured to. My phone number isn't in the digits of pi that we've discovered so far, for example: https://www.angio.net/pi/

Plot twist: the websites that check if a given number has been found in pi are actually just data mining operations looking for credit card numbers and phone numbers.

That did occur to me, so I only gave them my old number.

Well obviously that's not in pi. Pi only tracks current phone numbers.
