Someone has mentioned that you could get a 587 number in Edmonton, then move to Calgary and take that number with you. This is false and it comes from a misunderstanding of how a distributed overlay works.

Actually, there wasn't a LOT of misinformation. And if you are refering to this post in the second quoted paragraph....

What you fail to grasp is that now that the phone number/carrier/platform relationship is broken due to number portability, it is the next likely step that the NPA/NXX to home calling area will also change. This would require a CRTC authorization, but I DO foresee it coming.
At no time, however, did I indicate that can happen right now.
