Question about keeping your cell number (1 Viewer)

[TheIronSheik]

I have no intention of changing my cell number that I've had for almost 16 years. But I started thinking: Now that I live in PA, does that mean people who call my phone are calling long distance? Obviously, cell to cell it doesn't matter. But if someone calls from a land line, is that considered long distance?

Besides a business, who would call from a landline.

16 years? Did you have one of those brick cell phones?

Yes. Consider getting a free google voice number that is local to where you live now and forward those calls to your cell. That's one work-around. If someone calls you a lot, they can use that google voice and avoid long-distance.

You can change phones without changing numbers...you knew that, right? If not, I want to see YOUR phone!

they still charge for long distance?

If your cell phone is an 877 number, I think it is toll free for anyone calling you

I don't know. Just wondering.

My timeline is probably off, I guess there were plenty of flip phones 16 years ago. Damn I'm old.

God hates long distance charges

Exactly. The question is moot. No one pays extra for long distance anymore.Moot I said!

I hear you on the old part...I realized during this thread that I opened my cell phone stores in 2003...I had my first camera phone 11 years ago. 11 years. I've had a flip phone since 1997.
