I recently moved from Phoenix to Las Vegas. I kept my 480 phone number
on my AT&T mobile. My company is still based in the Phoenix area, and my
work phone is still a 602 area code.

But whenever I give either my personal or work phone number to (almost)
anyone now, they seem PO'd that it's an out-of-area area code.

I've thought about calling AT&T and requesting a 702 number, but I
figured ultimately, it would be more hassle for all my friends and
coworkers to learn the new 702 area code and update their contacts than
it was worth just to avoid the odd looks when I give the number to
people here in Vegas.

Anyone else encounter this phenomena and how did you handle it?

Thanks in advance
