I’m used to the usual “remember me” text messages, but is there a reason they are trying to include the metro area in the message as well?

    I’m just guessing here, but I imagine it’s for “marketing purposes”. People sometimes (perhaps often) move around without changing their phone number, so area code alone wouldn’t be enough to pinpoint where you live.

    Knowing where you live probably helps with micro-targeting ads.
