View Full Version : Sprint assigned me wrong area code

I am in the process of moving and I entered the billing address for Minneapolis, MN.....but my CC billing address is still in Fargo, ND.

I figured I would received 952 (MN) area code, but they assigned 701 (ND) area code. I have requested changes directly to Webasales, but I haven't heard anything back.

Anyone else had issues like this?

They base your number off of your CSA(Coverage) address, which could actually be different than your billing OR Mailing address. A call to care should have that corrected. They can just update your CSA with the correct address. Also, if you happen to have a Sprint corporate store near you, you can have it done there as well.

That sometimes happens...A simple call to customer care should get you a Minneapolis (952) number. It will involve a number change on their end and on your end, they will walk you through re-programming your phone.

Yup.. you can have ND area code in MN.. and MN area code anywhere.. cant wait for the day when its possible to have an international area code in any country.. i know thats kind of possible.. but need that day.. when its possible to have unlimited international longdistance and free inter-nationwidecoverage.. (just like unlimited nationwide longdistance)
