It's a big issue for political pollers, and they have some data:

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/01/05/pew-research-center-will-call-75-cellphones-for-surveys-in-2016/

    "roughly half (47%) of U.S. adults whose only phone is a cellphone."

    "in a recent national poll, 8% of people interviewed by cellphone in
     California had a phone number from a state other than California.
     Similarly, of the people called on a cellphone number associated with
     California, 10% were interviewed in a different state."

So maybe 10% of all cell phones are primarly used in the "wrong" area?
