"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
Where's the snowflake option?! (I don't have an area code.)
ETA - I'm going to say "No" because I have a Skype online number that's based near my hometown, so that my parents can call it locally from their landline. And I haven't lived in that area code for almost 20 years.
Yes, it does. For a while it didn't match exactly because they changed the area code where I was living, but I've had the same number since I got my cell phone in college and haven't left the general area.
Yes...but it has followed me to two other area codes since I got it - we just happened to move back to the same city where I lived when I got my number many years ago

No, we moved a couple years ago, not very far but far enough to get into a new area code. Our previous city added a new area code recently too. I've had my number for like 16 years, now way would I change it. It was from when cell phones were new and nobody has had the number previous to me. Now I feel like all the numbers are old and used. We had to get rid of our home phone because after 3 number changes we still had too many calls for the previous owners.

Yep. I got my cell in college, we now live 2 hours away, but it's the same area code. Prefix doesn't match local numbers, but since we're required to used area codes for all calls now, it doesn't matter. I did see on the map that there is now a second area code for our region, but I've never run across anyone that uses the new one. Interesting.
Mine and DH's do but DS1's doesn't. When we got him his phone 3 years ago they told us that they couldn't give him a number in our area code, but to contact ATT in 30 days and they could change it. 30 days later all of his friends already had his number and he didn't want to change it. We said it doesn't really matter....but, after the fact we realized that his bio-grandma has a land line and it is actually long distance for her to call him. So she calls my phone to speak with him. No biggie to us but I'm sure she doesn't appreciate it.
Yes. When we moved cross country in 2008, I got a new cell number because I thought it would help with job hunting.
Same, except 2007. At the time, I think it was true, especially since I have no family in the area and no schools on my resume tying me here. Today, I don't think it would matter. Neither of us changed our numbers during our time in D.C., and if we move in the future, I won't change.
