Unlikely. Most "not from the tri state" keep their original numbers for consistency. This is especially true since lots of people in the under 35 demographic use a cell phone as their only phone (as In they've never had a land line). If your cell phone has been your dedicated number for 10+ years, it's unlikely you'd change it, especially since there arent any long distance charges to other US numbers with cells.
I see your argument but I could also see some of them thinking it's "cool" to have a local tri-state number.
I am not speaking of Chicago as a whole...how can one compare a speck of a town like Hoboken to a giant city like Chicago? It is similar to areas like Rosco Village (for example)...walkable, lots of great amenities, brownstones, urban environment, train system, but completely full of middle Americans...and that is just like Hoboken.
So that's where all the white people are...
I've actually never hung out in Hoboken, and I've seen quite a bit of New Jersey (unfortunately).
I'm from the west coast. It usually either raises an eyebrow and gets some props from the better-traveled people around here, or they've never even been to that side of the country and have no idea what say or think when you say you're from Seattle.

IF you aren't born in NYC pure and simple you are a Transplant.
Living and operating in a certain area in NYC, I've met my share of transplants. I even worked at one point as a Williamsburg doorman for one of those shiny new buildings you see. A lot are indeed from the periphery, NJ and CT! I would even dare estimate them at 40% of transplant population. I also met a lot from the 'stereotypical' homeland of the transplant, Ohio. I met many who were from the west and south also, let's not forget tornado alley.
