Mike from Techdirt asks the question that has been racing through my mind most of last month. “Do Area Codes Matter In An Age Of Wireless And VoIP?” Makes you think, huh? If you stop to think about it, there should be no real reason why we should still be using them!
Do area codes really matter any more? These days, I’ve gotten used to plenty of people I know having mobile phone numbers from some distant place where they used to live, rather than where they live now. With so many plans no longer having any real marginal costs for long distance calls, it hasn’t much mattered, other than as a status symbol. The same is starting to come true in the VoIP world, as well, as people are even purposely ordering VoIP phone numbers from locations that don’t represent where they live.
