(26,219 posts)and kept it for over 14 years now, through 2 different employers registrations and 4 (at last count) carriers.
Good luck getting a 917 phone # now (or so I am told - area code is sold out?).
I should put that number up on eBay. Heh.
Edit to add - because my employer uses call tracking, I have to use the full 10-digit number, even to call in lunch from the deli across the street. By the time I dial into outbound tracking, put in my pin and their 10 digit number, I could have walked out our front door with a bullhorn and ordered a pastrami on rye...
Edit 2 - there are typically no charges for same telecom calls. Doesn't help with friends & family calling from East Bumblefuck on who knows what carrier, but AT&T to AT&T, T-Mobile to T-Mobile, etc - is always free for long distance and even minputes used. Moved my mom to my carrier years ago to save on her plan.
