We live in a world where physical borders no longer define communication — especially with VoIP. But area codes? They still hold power. A great piece I came across — https://www.exploratoryglory.com/technology/why-area-codes-still-matter-in-the-age-of-voip — dives into this often-overlooked topic. It explains how scammers use area codes to trick people into thinking calls are local or trustworthy, and why our brains are wired to respond to familiar digits. The article explores the rise of call spoofing, how area codes influence behavior, and what tools you can use to verify a number’s authenticity. It’s an eye-opener for anyone who still assumes that local = safe. As technology evolves, so do scams — and understanding the significance of area codes might just save you from answering a costly call.
