Dating in the region
A 606 number tells matches in Ashland, Morehead, or Paintsville that you're already connected to the area, whether you grew up there or just moved close by.

If you're relocating to Ashland, Flatwoods, or Grayson, getting a 606 number ahead of time means you can start using a local-looking number before you even arrive.
