Compared with the new and exciting V2VIP Internet Phone Service, the "local" area code concept is part of the old, traditional telephone system Our high-speed Internet Phone service is available nationwide, so choose a new number in your local calling area or select a phone number anywhere in the US even if it's on the other side of the country. For example, if you live in New York and most of your family and friends live in California, let's say 310 area code, then choose a local number in the 310 area code where they live and keep in touch for the price of a local call.
Or if you have a primary V2VIP line with a New York area code then create a Virtual Phone Number with the California number as an inexpensive secondary number. When they call it rings into the primary line as a local call for them.

If you'd like to keep your current number, just use the easy tool on the right to check if the number can be transferred.
