Mobiles don't have area codes.

I have (or have had) mobile phones with AT&T, Alltel, Sprint, and
Verizon. In all cases, the area code was the same as the area code for
my home phone.

That's a bit daft. When I'm going to call a number, I know if it's a
mobile by the first 5 digits.


Five digits? Would that be the area code (3 digits) and the first 2 of
the "exchange code"? Or do you mean international calls?

How would you tell it's mobile from that?
