phone numbers in usa?

[Jil]

Hi guys,
i just wondered if phone numbers normally change if somebody moves in usa?
its just cuz i know a family over there and i know that they moved 2 weeks ago, wasnt really far though, just about 200 metres, and still living in the same road. so, do usa-phone numbers change if somebody moves just like 20 houses?

sorry for my bad english and thx in advance for your replies

depends on the area. If it's a high population center, it can change due to they changing area codes. But if they stay in the same area code, they should be able to take it with them...

nah not really.. its in ohio.. in a little town with less than 10,000 inhabitans afaik.
and as they still live in the same road i guess they keep their area code..
so it is probable that they still have got the same number?

Yeah they probably have the same number. I when I moved 15 miles from where I used to live, I kept my old number.
