You are running away with my example unreasonably. It's just a question of whether to raise an eyebrow.

The supplemental question, as you have ably demonstrated with your Texas comment, is whether the information is worth anything at all. I maintain that when it is available and relevant, precision is desirable.

That's what I was saying.

So what you're saying is - if you owned a pizzeria in Port Richmond,
but someone called you from a cellphone indicating NYC (or out of state
for that matter), you wouldn't deliver? (of course you would, you'd
just be more cautious about it the first time they call)

While I understand your logic, as an end user I don't really care if my
phone number is of use to a local pizzeria or not. While living in
Queens I've made countless local orders with a cellphone based in Texas
and VoIP numbers based in Manhattan. Sure, businesses you call raise an
eyebrow, but none of them make a big deal out of it. (either way, in
the coming years they'll have to get used to all sorts of phone numbers
anyway as VoIP gets more popular...)

It is just you. If you operated a pizzeria in Port Richmond, and an incoming call indicated Mariners Harbor, you would be prepared to make a delivery. If it was from Chelsea, you would not. And if it indicated NYC, you would consider that info almost useless.

Maybe it's just me, but if it's 212, 347, or 646 - as a consumer I
don't really care where the LATA is physically located. It's all
"NYC"
in my book. ;)
