Re: I have fun with texts sent to the wrong number
"Where I live we have four area codes for seven counties, people are always sending texts to the right-number-but-wrong-area-code."
From your later mention of Verizon I assume you are in the USA. Is that right that mobile phones are "tied" to your local area codes? What happens if you are travelling out of area? Or move permanently to another area? From this side of the pond that seems like an odd way to distribute *mobile* phone numbers.
