Worse, there's no more real mapping between number and location within the US anyway.
My cell phone account has five numbers from three different area codes in two different (non-adjacent, even) states. Only two of the numbers are from the "right" area code, and even those are "from" a city >150 miles away from where we live.
If you think that's bad, my 703 area code "home phone" is currently in Beijing. The wonders of VoIP.
Thankfully, due to the absence of "long distance", it doesn't matter too much. My cell phone still has a Wisconsin number but nobody cares even though it's not a "local call".
