	To give you another idea of their stupidity, I have to pay more to make a daytime call to somewhere in the city I currently live in than I do to make a call home (six counties and a couple hundred miles away), because AT&T are being assholes and won't let me change my number's area code to the local one.

	You have area codes for mobile phones? Doesn't that, like, completely defeat the purpose? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

My family, and my cell-phone, are registered in area code 865. I'm currently living in area code 423, which is in the same stupid region of the state. It's just another way the companies can nail you with roaming charges and higher fees, and they re-use numbers by just assigning them different area codes (which is why I'm getting harassed by someone in area code 424, all the way in goddamn California, who thinks I'm her husband's bit on the side).

	Oh wow. I have my number, which works all over the UK sans funny business and everywhere else with the appropriate international code. Ye gods. Area codes. Insane. (Reply to this)(Parent)
