Did you change to a "Florida" area code?
 

We will not be getting a landline when move to TV permanently, but is it common to change the cellphone to a 352 area code? I kinda like the old one to show where I was from.

Kept the old one. Just changed the billing address.

Most people keep their existing number. No need to change.

And, it is very difficult to get all your contacts to update your number on their phones.

We kept ours. We have an elderly family member who would be distressed by a change.

Makes it easy to sort out the junk calls, too. if we don't recognize the 651 prefix number, it is junk.

I don't see any reason to change it. One advantage to keeping the old area code is that you can recognize when a telemarketer is calling. They will usually "spoof" their number to your old code.

No. No need to. You’ll get more scam called with Florida area code IMO.

I changed mine and wish I didn't. I get 2-3 spam text's every day.

We saw no reason to change numbers.

Got great price for landline but mostly spammers call

we kept our existing area codes....one less thing to have to change that isn't necessary

nope

I did because I really didn't care one way or another. Can you guess that I'm not a big user of my cell phone? My wife IS a big user of hers and didn't want to have all her friends from back in NC have to put in a new phone number for her in their cell phones, so she opted to keep her old cell number.

We kept our old number with the NJ area code. Very easy to identify spam.

I am not yet in Florida, but when I moved to a new state a few years ago I kept my old number for business reasons. The real benefit is all the robo calls spoof my old area code so I know not to pick up calls from there unless its someone I know who would come up as their name when they call.

No!
Same plan from home to change to FL area code....$20 more per month....exactly the same plan.

Changing adds no value plus who cares what the area code is or from?

The term "area code" is a misnomer. It no longer indicates where the caller is located.
