Yes. There's no obvious way to differentiate between a mobile and a non-mobile number in the USA. Numbers are "somewhat local" in that the first three digits usually correspond to a strict geographical area. However that's not a guarantee since if someone moves to another area/state these days the mobile providers will let them keep their number.
