If BB (or any other company, for that matter) is using phone numbers for marketing research...they really need to re-think that. I don't have a landline, and neither do any of my friends. I live in College Station, TX but have an Austin number for my cell phone. Since all cells have free long distance these days, there's no need to change the number over. So when Radio Shack or BB get that '512' at the beginning of my number, all that tells them is that I drove in from Austin to go to the Radio Shack down the street. Not very accurate info.
But maybe they're using it for something other than location....
