One thing to keep in mind with cell numbers in the US, long distance is free with most major carriers, so people tend to keep their cell number as they move around rather than switch to a number in their geographic location. I know one guy who has a Connecticut cell number even though he's been living in Georgia for the last 5 years, and another who has a Texas cell number even though he's been in Georgia for a long time. So many times, the npa of a cell number reflects the geographic location of the person when they bought their first cell phone.
