All About the Telephone Code System
Today, the phone number format for countries in the US, Canada, and most of the Caribbean has this format: XXX – XXX – XXXX. The first XXX group is the NPA code designated by the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA). The next three digits of the phone number are called the NXX, and refers to the exchanges (prefixes). The telephone service provider or carrier is the one that reserves these groups of numbers within an area code. Finally, the last group of Xs is the subscriber number.
If we take a look at the total number of NPA and NXX combinations available today, we can say that there are roughly 1.600.000.000 possible telephone number combinations, leaving about 4 numbers per person. That doesn’t mean there are way too many available, especially since many businesses and people use multiple phone lines.
All in all, it’s pretty organized right? However, it wasn’t always like that.
Why an Area Code System is Needed
From the late 19th century until the 20th century, The Bell Telephone Company and AT&T practically have a monopoly on telephone services in the US. During the mid-19th century, human operators redirected calls to their destinations. There were no numbers involved. However, there were too many errors and misunderstandings. As a result, the Bell Company introduced a new way to dial the phones using standardized abbreviations and numbers. Eventually, the network would expand so much that it became apparent that there is a need for area codes. Just only by adding the 3 additional numbers right before a local number meant that millions of new phone numbers can be issued.
In Northern America, which includes the US, Canada, and most of the Caribbean, the allocation of phone numbers is controled by the NANPA. They also govern divisions, adjustments to, or generations of new area codes. They also allocate these numbers to telephone service providers.
In addition to using area codes for specific regions, the NANPA also designates certain area codes for special purposes. The 800 code, for example, is exclusively for toll-free calls wherein the one receiving the call is the one charged as opposed to the one making the call.
Area codes specifically were created in 1947 to satisfy post-WWII’s increased demand for telephone services. Today, more area codes are issued to accommodate the growing demand for telephone services. Since the NANPA is responsible for assigning area codes, it also follows the international standard for numbering plans.
As mentioned, in the United States, more than 310 area codes are in use. Depending on the number of people living in your area, you may interact with one or more area codes. Densely populated states like Florida and California are covered with more than one area code, whereas low population states like Montana and Idaho only have one area code.

Why You Need to Know Area Codes
What would you do if you got a call from an unknown area code? The natural reaction is to reject it, right?
Area codes serve as a means for us to know where the call is coming from. It might be that the person on the other line is your future employer, business partner, or customer, and there are times that you need to know that information. It might also be that somebody is calling you because of an emergency about a family member.
If you are keen on maintaining your privacy and do not want intrusive phone calls, you must know the area codes and its purpose. It has never been more important than these days! Many people are constantly thinking of ways to scam others. One common scam involves shady people calling their targets, usually with the help of auto-dialers, and hanging up before someone from the other end answers. When this happens, the target is usually so curious about the missed call that he calls the number back. In this case, however, it is likely a premium number, similar to the one set up by psychic hotlines and phone sex operators that automatically receive the calls you make and charge an arm and a leg for each one.
In these cases, a surefire way to stay protected is: never call an unknown phone number back unless you are 100% sure about who’s calling! However, it’s understandable that you’re worried about missing an important call. In such cases, performing a reverse phone lookup or area code lookup can help.
The next time you receive a call from an unknown area code, it is better to trace the caller’s number using our website. You never know, and it might be a call about some good news.

They just called us here at a community college library, when I explained we are a library they asked to speak to the library director. I said no way, I'm not going to bother him when I don't know what you are calling about. I have a hearing problem, but it sounded like she said something about credit card processing. We don't do credit card processing. She kept on till I hung up on her. Crazy, them calling the Reference Desk of a college library for this kind of scam!
Not sure of the spam or scam level as I did not answer the call, but calling every other day
Caller's name: Unknown
Called the number back, and it was for some other person who I don’t know. I’ve had this number for 16 years and never received calls for other people.
Called for family that has never been associated with the number, " we have a complaint in our office". Nothing else but to call back at the 855-485-4988 number. This call was received from a local number.

Caller's name: Justin Bailey with American Amicable Ins Co.
I received a call from this number offering final expense insurance. I asked many questions as did this man. It all seemed to be legitimate. However, I have never received any paperwork which I should have gotten by last Tuesday regarding the policy. No money has exchanged hands and I have been checking my checking account several times as day to see if anything has been pulled out. So far, that has not happened. I tried calling back on Friday and was told that Justin had "a family emergency". The person who answered the phone assured me that the policy paperwork would be here by today or tomorrow of this week. I asked him where they were located to try to get a fix on location. He said they were in EST zone. I called at 4:15 MST which means that if they were in eastern time zone it would be 7:15 p.m. He told me they were available 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I saw that as a validation that this was a scam operation. There is a website for American Amicable that I checked previously. However, the site refers an interested party to an agent. There is no phone number or address listed. Perhaps that could be way of following a trail. I have informed my credit union that this is a scam and to flag the amount of the premium that may be hitting my account. Hopefully, I will try again to reach them as I did today. The message is that the call cannot go through at this time, please try again later. Hope this helps. If you have any info that could help me, please do send it to my email, [email protected]. Thank you. Sue West

They were fishing for information and my insurance was billed without my knowledge and I hadn't even been to the doctor
