Is it possible for somebody with a specific area code on their cell phone, be living somewhere else? Or be living in a certain area and get a cellphone with a different area code?



What I'm trying to say, are cell phone area codes "fixated"?Cell phone area codes?
Due to number portability laws, someone may register a phone number (even a land-line number), and then carry that number over from company to company for cell service, regardless of the current location of residence.



As far as finding out who the cell carrier for a specific number is, there is no standard way to do this if it is not your number. You may get lucky by dialing the number and getting a message like "The ______ customer you have dialed is not available. . ."Cell phone area codes?
With a cell phone you can have a certain area code and live somewhere else, example have a california # and live in Texas, the only thing is where ever your at anyone calling your cell phone with their land line will either get billed long distance or if they do not have long distance will not be able to call you.
