Not sure how accurate that is. People keep their cell phones when moving. To ID the phone, you have to know the billing address. You can’t go by area code alone if that what was used.
Good point, I still have a Washington area code but I’ve lived in two other states since then.
I don’t understand the article but I understand your post.. Common sense.
“”You can’t go by area code alone if that what was used.””
Raiders played a home game in LV this weekend.
Many attendees at Kamala appearance may have come for that, also.
“You can’t go by area code alone if that what was used.”
As with many situations, the answer is, “it depends.”
Specifically, it depends upon what other data they may have access to, and their ability to collate and store it.
Shopping malls track cell phones. You are a dot moving about on a computer screen but when you buy a shirt they have your name and address and what credit card you used.
Next time you enter the mall they know your name and what time you showed up and what stores you looked at and anything you bought. They sell this info to anyone. Store security uses facial recognition.
I remembered years ago a grocery store clerk would greet me by name at the checkout and I asked how they knew. She answered it comes up on the screen. They know all that you buy.
Yahoo and Gmail scan your pc and devices and capture your other email address’s you have. I know as I do not store any at yahoo at my Yahoo account yet they bring up the other address’s I have in my Thunderbird email program on my pc that has a different domain other then yahoo.com. You can have location home address’s in the email address book.
Also the cell phones and smart tv’s and cars listen in. Notice ads appear on the pc or tv about what you are talking about.
