Same in Netherlands, France and UK as far as I know. Landlines have an area code, mobile numbers are all in a specific range that isn't linked to any location.

First time I got a cell phone in the US I was surprised I had to tell T-mobile my postal code and got a "local" number.

Yup, from NL, have moved everywhere and and changed provider a dozen times and have the same cellphone number since my first phone in 1999 or something.

Yes, in the UK all mobile numbers start with "07". Landlines start with a geographical area code - e.g. London numbers start with "020".
