One provider told me she tries to give the impression that she's from out of town because she gets higher rates that way.  I think it can be self defeating however because the limited time she's "in town" just might not fit into my schedule so I don't even try contacting her.  As for pricing, come on, are we that gullible?

I advertise on the Eros website also. My base city is New York. The best page to be listed on is the "what's new" category. I post a visiting ad every so often to be listed there. This could be why you find local providers with visiting ads.

Dude,
Phone service was deregulated over 25 years ago. With the explosion of cellular services offering nationwide plans area codes mean very little.  We're a mobile society.  In the past three years I lived in three different states keeping the same phone with a 773 area code.  
You're reading way too much into this.  Fin

Thank you for the input..  I am ignorant to these situations...

Thank you,
