Maybe the phone-number thing was just a "fer instance..."? Could refer 
to any data I guess.

I used to use (and like) Simplenote. Still have it here on all devices 
(+ web). It works well enough* but doesn't have folders - only tags. 
Which I hate...

*Saying that, it seems I have some notes in the desktop app that aren't 
on any other device - uintil I edit them. Weird. May be due to 
non-alphanumeric characters in the note title. Will have to investigate 
(sigh).
