      Here in 306, I regularly see the same exchange having both landline and
cell phones assigned.  One good example is 306-867-xxxx.  There's no way
anyone not intimately familiar with the local situation could determine by
the number alone whether it's cell or land.  Also, there's no extra costs
to the caller, who's paying LD, to connect to a cell versus a landline. 
Heck, I even know some people who have a tollfree number assigned to their
cell.
