Area Code - Sex and the City (2008) Discussion

[–] Anniston 12 years ago

I think it has to do with the fact she had that same number for ages. It was sentimental. Also, it was more "New York" because it isn't a newer area code.

It seems goofy, but I am actually going through the same thing right now in getting rid of my land line. My exchange is an original East side and I have had it since the day I moved to this city.

If you're not responding to me, "reply" to the post you're responding to. kthanks.

Well that makes sense. I figured one was "new" NY and the other was "old" NY.

Are you a 212? That was the original NYC area code.

I don't even understand why she needed a new number? She tossed her phone... When I get a new phone I don't get a new number... Unless she stopped paying her bill?

She wanted a new number so she wouldn't have to hear any more voicemails from Big. That's why she tossed her original phone into the ocean.

917 does seem higher standard.

Maybe it was a slow day for her, and that was the best thing she could find to whine about.

True. She sure loved a good whine.

Ashmi any question

Same thing happened in LA when the west side split off into 310:

Carrie was being sentimental. Elaine experienced the same thing on Seinfeld when she had her number changed (after Kramer signed her up to receive faxes when she didn't have a fax). A guy didn't want her number because it was a different area code. Even though it's still local, it is new, scary, spooky.

There was a Seinfeld ep about this. Elaine wanted a new number but they stopped issuing 212. Hilarity ensued.

Exactly. Some areas like NY get really hung up on stuff like this. Some companies have paid big money to get a 212 number because it will make them seem more legit and well established.
