So why would geosim have to go to a small town like Witchita Falls Texas and assign all their USA number in the 940 area code? I wonder what people are going to think about me when I give out this code.  |
My father used to say "Why wish for a loaf of bread when you can wish for the whole grocery store?"
If you are looking for snob appeal - why wish for a 212 number that can be anything from Harlem to the Bowery. Wish for a 213 number with the old BR2 exchange. That was (is) the exchange used in Beverly Hills for those that wanted a "local" LA rated exchange. (You pd. a lot extra for that privilege.) The regular BH exchange CR3 was (is?) outside the LA local calling area. It is also now in a diff. area code - 310 with "downscale" areas like Holmby Hills and Westwood.
There are now so many area codes, no one can possibly know where any of them are. In the U.S., a vast majority of people now pay nothing extra for long distance.

A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
