 DS>   It is an interesting difference.

In my part of New York, everything is lumped under one are code... 518.  To
most people it would be impossible to tell the difference between a cell or
landline phone call unless they've been around for awhile.  There used to
be a sort of numbering scheme for the exchanges, where anything starting
with 2 (i.e. 273-xxxx) was from Renssalaer county, anything starting with 3
Schenectady county, anything starting with a 4 was from Albany county. 
Anybody who had to deal with a customer base from around the entire NY
Capital District could not only tell what county in the region it was
coming from, but what part of the county. Cell phones can screw that up for
people who never
got used to the old scheme.  Myself, I know right away if it's a cell phone
call if it doesn't have any of the exchanges I grew to know over the years.

Also... my caller ID here now displays the incoming number and
"WIRELESS CALLER" when there is an incoming cell call.

I believe NYC has seperate area codes for cell phones, but I'm not sure. 
When I was growing up NYC only had one area code, when I was leaving NYC it
had two, now it has several.
