711 Speakout/Petro Can- possible to change area code of number?

I am considering getting a sim card from Petro Canada/ 711 Speakout to get a $20 monthly plan. The way i understood it the offering is very similar (100 canada wide minutes, unlimited text) and both serviced by Rogers. One of my question is if I set up the phone originally in BC with a BC based area code- and if i eventually move to another province (say Alberta), would either of these providers have to charge me a hefty price to change the phone number's area code? I also want to know which provider's customer service is generally easier to deal with. thanks in advance for the help!

Customer service will be the same. They use the same call center to handle 7/11 Speakout and Petro-Canada mobility - both under Ztar Mobile.

Changing area codes shouldn't be an issue either - just tell them you're moving. I've heard of people getting it done for free, some being charged like $10.
