When I added new lines to my plan a few months back I asked for non-recycled numbers, and I had to take numbers that aren't local to us b/c they said there were none at the time. They were planning on adding more prefixes for our local area, but I don't know if they have yet.</p><p>Our neighboring county and half of our county are both local to all the prefixes while the other half of our county is only local to half of them. No big deal for us since the lines were for my in-laws and I got numbers that are local to them, but I have to keep my number local to our area for my Mom who won't spend a cent on long distance and believes cell phones are the devil :-p.</p><p>Hmm...then again if I don't have a local number she can't call me 10x a day. Everyone else can b/c almost everyone else I know is on Verizon anyway. I may just be onto something ;-).</p>Jennifer S.Wed, 04 Mar 2009 23:40:07 -0000http://www.blog.jennshuey.com/2009/03/throwing-my-phone-out-the-window/#comment-6891164<p>UGH! When I first got my phone, I had call after call after call from debt collectors looking for a man. How many times I told them it wasn't his phone number anymore I don't know, but it never worked. Finally asked Verizon to change my number and they did - for free no less - and then gave me a number that had never been used before.</p><p>Now I get calls occasionally but not often. :)</p>Charli GambleWed, 04 Mar 2009 23:16:04 -0000
