Area codes... There is a tri-county area. The poor county that few people live, the working class county, the professional class county. At one point I realized that myself and my 2 coworkers had the working class area code on a phone number list we created... and we were in the professional county doing business. I'm not sure if it was mental insecurity, but I felt ashamed that my entire team was from the working class area. The fact that we were all 'top of our class' didn't matter. Money didn't matter, we probably were making more than the client since we were profit centers. I need a new phone number. Seriously, in my area its judgeworthy.

It's mental insecurity, 99%.

  Maybe... I am near certain I couldn't use the poor area code for business purposes. Although with generous government subsidies to the poor area, it seems less taboo since young people have moved downtown.

2 Skinnee J's had a great rap about the topic. They even managed rhyme "Ridiculous" with "Moby-Dickulous" in it. https://genius.com/2-skinnee-js-718-lyrics https://genius.com/2-skinnee-js-718-lyrics

If there is a possibility that this might impact your business, even a small one, then it is probably worth getting a new phone number and I would encourage you to do so. So much of business is based on perception and you don’t want to give clients any reason to doubt you.

  I'm with you. I don't care about ideals. I care about reality.
