The pronounciation of 3, Saen, sounds close to the other word "生" which bears the meaning of life and birth. It's a symbol of prosperity and luck. The other number favored by chinese is 8, bua, which represents "發". Also a luck number as it implies expansion and growth. 4 is bad as it sound close to "死" which means death.
Thus is the logic in license plate or phone number selections for many chinese that still believes in that sort of things.

It doesn't have any special meaning other than 3 / 三 (simple) / 叁 (used to avoid errors) / san.

After san can also mean umbrella 伞, to stop 散. But the way to pronounce it is different
