Default Tip for getting the US area code you want when you order from the Truphone website - 19-11-2010, 02:12

Here is a tip for getting the US area code you want when you order from the Truphone website. When you buy a SIM from the web site it will first show a New York area code and phone number. There is a drop down list for other states. Well, let us say you live in a state with multiple area codes. California, for instance. Let us say you choose California and don't like the area code--wrong end of the state, choose any other state and choose California again. If you keep doing this you will eventually see most area codes in California. It might take 20-30 times doing this to see the one you want [562, for instance]. And if you don't choose it then, you might have to do it 20-30 times again to see it again. So be patient and see what is available, but don't get too greedy, you might double or triple your time to see the area code you want again.

You can test this without buying one.
