Can any anons explain to me how US cell phone prefixes work?

For example in Ireland we have 083, 085, 086 and 087 for mobile numbers. Can't find any similar info for the US.

We just switched from 7 digit numbers to 10.

We have the area code or first 3 digits, then the rest just goes up from 0000000 skipping numbers that begin with 555 so we can put numbers in movies and stuff. It used to be that you didn't have to dial the area code if the person you were calling was in your area, now you do.

In aus we just use 04 for mobile.

Landline has area code though.
02 for ACT, 03 for melbourne, 07 for Queensland, etc

Cellphones and home phones have no differences in the way the number is generated in the US. It is simply the area code followed by 7 digits.

We invented the telephone, you can dial 1 and get Grandbell's grandchildren.

Cheers lads.

So basically cell numbers are the same as any other numbers in the states then?
>>
>>58450723
Not a 'lard, but my understanding is that every state has it's own set of numbers.
Also what the FUCK is that picture
>>
>>58451048
yeah, it's just different areas. so for me, my area code is 727, but the city across the bridge is 813. you usually correlate area codes with major cities within those area codes

Yes, they're the same. There's no way to look at a US telephone number and determine whether it's a landline or a cell phone.
