In what way do you care about them?

The area code is NOT an accurate way of determining "locality," as
there are frequently cases where depending on where you are, different
sets of numbers roll in and out of one's "local calling area."

You can't necessarily determine, based on area code, whether another
number will be deemed "local" or not. And that tendancy is getting
worse, over time. Fortunately LD rates have been tending to fall...
