Funny story:
In the early 2000s I lived in Northern Virginia but wanted a cellphone with a 202 number. On the phone with the phone company's customer support, I got them to admit that they just needed *any* address inside the 202 geography to tie to my name to give me a 202 number. Crucially, that address did *not* need to be my home or any address that I actually had a legal connection to. They literally just needed something to geocode to 202.
So I gave them 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and successfully got my 202 cellphone.
