If you have a traditional number, it's the first three digits that gives away your area. For example, Arlington is a lot of 525, 527, and 528. (there are others, but those are the ones I see a lot). Those traditional ones are also the ones that sometimes the phone company gets in your face about and won't let you carry with you if you move out of that boundary even if you're within the same area code. It's really stupid, but it's happened to several friends. I've kept my number for four moves, but I never left Arlington.

+1. I live in Old Town and never want to give up my 683 number.

+2 My parents have lived in McLean since 1977 and still have their 356 #. Whenever I get a call from 356 #, I'm like, "Wow, this is old school!"
