- Subject: April 1995 NPA/NXX report
- Date: Fri May 19 11:11:17 1995
-
- This is my quarterly report on the number of exchanges in each NPA in
- the NANP. It is derived from information in FCC #10. This is article
- #16 in the series.
-
- FCC #10 is a tariff issued by BellCore that contains all the area
- codes, exchange combinations in the North American Numbering Plan
- (NANP). It also contains lata information and V&H coordinate
- information. There is a lot of additional information that I don't
- use, so I won't add here. It is available through a number of
- sources. The one closest to the FCC is ITS, which can be contacted at
- 202-857-3800. My company compiles this information for use in its
- products and does not seem to be interested in selling this
- information. Queries are still flowing through the bureaucracy.
-
- I have used pages that are effective prior to April 20, 1995. I am
- not responsible for the information supplied in FCC #10.
-
- I have not included the following in my counts of exchanges:
-
- - NXX's that are not dialable by a standard user (ie nxx's that begin
- with a 1 or 0).
-
- - Mexican exchanges in the 52[1-9] series of area codes. I've got them,
- you can dial them with 011, but they're not really NPAs.
-
- - Exchanges that are non-dialable in the 88? series of area codes. I've
- got those also, but you can't dial them, so I'm not including them.
-
- Numbers that begin with 88 are nondialable stations in the US, Canada and
- Mexico. They are ranches in the middle of the Nevada or Texas desert,
- or isolated outpost of civilization (always wanted to use that phrase) in
- the tundra of Canada. I find place names like the Bar J Ranch, Double B
- Ranch, and JD Dye, Texas, Amargosa, Corncreek and Reese Valley, NV, and
- Chick Lake, Redknife and Taglu, NT. I gather they are ringdown stations,
- or radio-telephone stations. [It has been noted in c.d.t. that at least
- two of these numbers are for a bordello on the NV-CA border.]
-

- The fields are:

- -> The NPA that is largest and is not splitting nor has plans, at this time,
- to split, is 212.
-
- -> The 6 smallest NPA's are:
-

-
- -> There are 78 NPAs (52% of the total, and increase of 4%) that have

- -> Just for grins:
-
- The most used NXX (not counting 555) is 754 used in 123 npas.
-
- The least used are:
- 311 used only in 212, and 959 used only in 808.
-
- I should note here that these are exchanges that are truly in use, not for
- special calling, but in general day to day use.
