It is one of the many effects of Katrina. When everyone left many got out-of-state cell phones. Even if you had a local (504) cell phone before the storm for many months afterwards "504 phones" didn't work. The whole exchange was down or haphazzard for quite some time. My mother, who lives in a FEMA trailer in front of my house, has a Houston area code. I did for a little while post-Katrina but am back to 504. Also many are not bothering to get landlines because BellSouth did such a bad job reestablishing phone service to many neighborhoods after the storm. It took a year and a half before they were able to offer us phone service and by then we had cable phone hooked up.
If she teaches in New Orleans, why does she have a michigan area code for her phone number?
