This is like when one moves, and subsequently moves to another Congregation - the Congregation one has been with all their life & so many of the friends still see you as someone's child and not the...
i think the only time that matters is for job applications. but as holding on to a phone number forever becomes more common, i think hiring people won't think twice about what your phone number area code is.
Yeh, I'm one that thinks that the area code can mean the difference between an interview and your resume going straight to the shredder. So, where possible I've purposely left out a contact number and address, and just have my name and email address on the top of the resume hahaha
Oh, but it's for reasons like this (applying for jobs in NYC) that I tried to get 718 ('cause at least could mean...hey, this guy lives in Brooklyn, since Brooklyn shares the area code with SI), and when T-Mobile told me they don't have any 718s, I said, then do you have (it was even more of a shot in the dark..but...) 212??? 'Cause then, it'd look like I live in Manhattan baby!
Of course the answer was "no" (well, actually when no SI 718s were available he said what other area has 718 & I said Brooklyn, so he looked for a Brooklyn number but didn't have those either)..."but we have 347."
I said, well, I guess I'll try at another time. He said wait, don't you want a 347? I said, eh, no thanks... I need 718. That's like the trademark, no one recognises 347. It still looks weird.
Do you know where 516 is?

Wow. I keep getting a call from a number out there but, whoever it is doesn't leave a msg. I looked it up but when told me LI I thought it was just a cell number that got assigned an off area code. Turns out it's a non pub landline =(
yeah....here you dont want a "909" or "951" area code haha
this is true. in such cases, I use our home phone number. I just hope it's never a male interviewer calling because dad is very suspicious of men calling here and thus not so nice.
