They don't give out very many numbers with this area code anymore so I kept it even when we lived abroad for 2 years. Plus, I love the entire number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-182765 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 23:24:53 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 182765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in TX and have a GA number. I've had the same number since I was 14 and I don't want to change it. My husband has a LA number. He has had his for as long as I've had mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-182763 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 23:05:49 +0000 skibobrown 182763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh dear. That's weird that she couldn't call back. I have a Boston cell phone #, but I live in Cali right now. It causes problems occasionally when people think it's an east coast phone # and call me ridiculously early in the morning on Pacific time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-182711 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:41:21 +0000 Grace 182711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine matches. So, if you move and get a new cell phone plan, you can keep your old area code? That doesn't make you have to pay LD when you make local calls? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-182217 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:55:47 +0000 SleepyMonkey 182217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. i got mine in college and never switched, and now work/live in a different state. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-182190 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:34:32 +0000 Running Elley 182190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine matches!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-182177 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:18:00 +0000 cyneswith 182177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an AZ number, I'm from MO, and I live in GA.

I've lived in the northern KY/Cincinnati area and now here in Indiana... It's fun explaining to job recruiters on where my phone number is from .... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-182024 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:14:19 +0000 lemondrop 182024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, mine is from my college days in Northern AZ, I have taken it with me to Colorado and to Phoenix, I don't plan on changing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181962 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:06:41 +0000 Autumn Sapphire 181962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I have a west coast number but live on the east coast. The only time it's ever a problem is when I get spam type calls at night and the caller thinks it's only the evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181919 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:26:32 +0000 Sweet T 181919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine doesn't match. I have a Georgia area code and we currently live in Kansas. DH is in the Army though so it's pretty normal for people around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181902 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:19:09 +0000 joyjoy 181902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine matches. </p> <p>@jessiejo17: I've had the same number since I was 14, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181848 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:27:06 +0000 purrpletulips 181848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine matches where I live but mainly because I didn't get a cell phone until around 10 years ago and haven't moved out of the area code. I think now that you can take your number with you people tend not to want to go through the hassle of notifying everyone of a number change so they just keep their old number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181804 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:03:30 +0000 calsmom 181804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed mine about 6 months after I moved. I wish I didn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181802 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:02:51 +0000 mrsdoily 181802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a northern Iowa number forever, despite living in eastern Iowa. I finally got my own number a couple of months ago and I finally have a matching area code! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181795 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:00:41 +0000 Rescuemom10 181795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Mine is from MN, and I live in WA. It confuses everyone too if they dont look close enough because the first and third number in the area code are the same numbers as the area code here. So some poor girl get my calls every now and again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181780 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:54:26 +0000 DillonLion 181780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My office doesn't have long distance because the suite of offices we are in charges an obscene amount for it. So, if our clients have long distance numbers we have to use our cell phones. I have a local number. I wish everyone did :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181762 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:46:57 +0000 Alivoo01 181762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! My area code is from where I grew up (Oklahoma), but I live in Texas. I don't plan on changing my number since I was on a family plan from eons ago and it's just cheaper this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181718 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:20:52 +0000 BSB 181718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Mine doesn't match. I still have my cell number from way back in high school. I'm fairly attached to my number. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181710 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:06:03 +0000 birdofafeather 181710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't match. i got my cell phone number in high school when i lived at my parents' house and that was over 12 years ago! i live three counties away now. when i lived in LA, no one really had LA area codes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181698 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:00:07 +0000 looch 181698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I match. I had to give up my 917 mobile number when I moved overseas, that hurt!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181651 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:28:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 181651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I moved to Philadelphia 7 or so years ago I kept my New Orleans area code. 3 years ago I changed it to a Philly area code (new carrier). 2 years ago DH and I moved to Pittsburgh, and now we're in the Harrisburg area, both of us with Philly area codes. </p> <p>I haven't had much of a problem with it yet, except to confuse some people around here who automatically assume I have a 717 area code, and have to go back and change it when they're typing in my number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181645 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:24:42 +0000 WALLAROO 181645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I still have the same number I had in college in Northern CA. I've lived in Southern CA and now in WA since then. The only time I've ever experienced issues was when I would call Comcast for customer service and I had to enter my cell phone #. They would always route me to Northern CA instead of WA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181632 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:16:57 +0000 PastaAndPotato 181632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine is now local to where i live</p> <p>the weird thing is, when i first got it, it didn't match my area code - for some reason they were giving out different area codes for cells than landlines where i grew up</p> <p>but, now i live where my area codes match up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181583 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:57:15 +0000 mrbee 181583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yah, I match.</p> <p>When I meet a New Yorker that has an out-of-state area code, that tells me that on some level... they're not totally a New Yorker yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181563 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:44:40 +0000 kayakgirl73 181563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still have my Maryland number and now live in Virginia. Nobody blinks an eye, but it's all metro DC anyhow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181555 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:42:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 181555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still have my California number. Most people here were born and raised here, so it often stumps them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181551 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:39:49 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 181551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope it doesn't! it's the city area code and i live in the suburbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181533 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:27:23 +0000 littlebug 181533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is local to Philadelphia, which is where we live. About 5 years ago, I changed it from my Pittsburgh number, and I hadn't lived in Pittsburgh for 7 years. But I never had a problem not having a local number. I only changed it because I switched carriers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-cell-phone-area-code-match-where-you-live-currently#post-181524 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:18:59 +0000 MamaMoose 181524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I'm sure we could have done that if we really tried. But part of the reason for the new plan was I had a slightly stalkerish ex boyfriend and needed a new number. And I was in college at the time and didn't know where I would end up when I graduated anyway so I just got a DE number. </p>
