List of Area Codes by State, by Number, and Search Tools

26424

This article provides an overview of area codes and lists area codes by state. In addition, it contains a list by number, as well as a list of search tools. Use this information as part of the investigation process when you need to know a code for a particular area.

Area codes are telephone number codes that designate certain calling areas. The format of an area code is NXX, where N is any digit 2 through 9, and X is any digit 0 through 9.

Initially, the middle digit of an area code had to be “0” or “1”. However, this restriction was removed in 1995 to allow for additional number combinations as the country continued to grow.

There are 800 possible combinations associated with the NXX format. However, some of these combinations are either not available or have been reserved for particular purposes.

Search and Lookup Websites

Many websites provide the ability to search for area codes and information about a particular city. Many websites also provide reverse area code search capabilities, which allow you to enter a city and state to find the corresponding number. These tools are helpful for investigators who are conducting missing person searches, skip tracing, and attempting to track down debtors.

Following are some recommended resources for looking up area codes and conducting reverse searches:

  • Addresses.com – This website includes various search tools that allow you to look up addresses and phone numbers.
  • AllAreaCodes.com – Provides phone area code lookups. This site was designed as a code locator to allow you to look up numbers for all the states, cities, and other areas serviced under the North American Numbering Plan.
  • Country Codes – Search for International Country Codes used for long-distance calling. Search for international country calling codes available and the specific phone number.
  • The Directory – This website is a telephone prefix locator. It allows you to search for telephone prefixes by area code. This is a handy tool for determining the general area of a telephone number.
  • Verizon Area Code Lookup – The Verizon Area Code lookup tool allows you to search for the central locations in a particular area. You can find the codes used in a specific state by entering the state name. The site also provides a historical view, which helps determine what has changed or when you need to locate individuals in an area where the code has changed.

What Do Private Investigators Need to Know

Private investigators may need to conduct such searches during an investigation. It may only be a general part of the investigation’s information-gathering process, such as determining the location of a crime or a particular subject’s location. In addition, it may be part of the planning process related to plotting a surveillance mission across a particular geographic region.
