That is a sweeping generalisation. Small businesses, and individuals,
are often able to take their number with them when moving address. These
days you can even take geographic numbers to different areas in some
cases. The current situation in the areas I am aware of (W. Europe) is
that the geographic indication that may be given by a certain prefix is
of ever-decreasing value, and that the distinction between landline and
mobile numbers is also blurring. These days it is simply a number. 

Be careful, as I am, not to project the situation in your personal
environment onto the rest of the world.
