    You should be able to get out of it if you call and say you no longer live in that state.

    Since you don't live in the state that called you up for jury duty, you are not eligible for jury duty. What you should do is call the courthouse that sent you the summons and explain to them that you no longer live in their jurisdiction. They'll take your name off the jury roster.

    Send back the summons with a note that you are no longer a resident and include your new address

    If you live out of state, or beyond a certain distance from the court (depends on the state), then that's grounds for exemption.
