I actually like that it forces you to remember the PIN.

That's lovely, but once you've remembered it?
I'm never going to forget my mobile number, I don't need to keep calling myself to remember it.
But the reason you don't forget it is probably because you recall it all the time. You definitely recall your phone number for purposes other than calling yourself.
This has given me a good idea for a study: find people who have changed phone numbers and see how many of those people can remember them. Then plot the data by the last time they used that number.
