I can say without a doubt - yes and no.  They follow a pattern in that the
same vendor will have the same prefix series in an area.  Different vendors
will be unique (because of the way phone number prefixes are reserved and
assigned).  The cell phone area covers approximately 1/2 of the southern
section of Kansas - and many zip codes.

I have a cell phone in St. John, Kansas that has a completely foreign prefix
from all of my home lines.  There are other people in town that have vastly
different numbers.   AllTel phones have one prefix, CellularOne phones have
a different set of numbers.  I would suggest that in those areas where you
have more than two choices, the numbers would be even more diverse.
