Wrong, many countries have largely relaxed their phone number plans by using a single nation wide plan and allowed portability of numbers. Area codes are no longer needed (single call rate nation wide, the rate only depends on operators; and ranges of numbers are allocated also nationwide for value added services; long distance calls are things of the past since the very large adoption of mobile phones, also not located by area but only by country).
