livejournal is my decision-making process

[coraa]

I haven't bothered to change my phone number since moving to Seattle, so I've still got a 213 area code, which is LA, of course. I've been thinking about getting a new phone recently, and I'm trying to decide if it's worth changing my number when I do, to a Seattle area code.

The pros of changing are that the number are, obviously, that it will be local to where I live. (I'm not sure how many people that affects -- I think most of my friends mainly use cells -- but there may be some friends who it does affect, and of course things like the doctor's office, etc.) The cons are, equally obviously, that I'll have to tell everyone the new number, including changing it for credit card companies, doctor's offices, blah blah blah.

So I turn to LJ.

Bonus points if you can tell me why!

It's not worth the hassle of changing it. Very few people will be too cheap to call you.

The only downside is having to put up with the "213? Where's that from..." or the "My number is 213-bla-blah... No, no dammit. 213 is the area code. Let's start over."

Your hassleage may vary :)
