Who calls from a 361 number
NANPA records the carrier each block of 361 numbers is assigned to. Of the 4.9 million 361 numbers assigned, 49% are with cable, internet-calling, business and other carriers (Onvoy, Stpcs Joint Venture and Bandwidth); 26% with mobile carriers (AT&T Mobility); 24% with local phone companies (AT&T and Frontier); 2% with paging companies.
That is who the numbers were assigned to: people keep their number when they change carrier, so any one number may have moved since.
| Carrier | Kind | Share |
|---|---|---|
| AT&T Mobility | Mobile | 19% |
| Onvoy | Cable, VoIP, other | 17% |
| AT&T | Landline | 16% |
| Stpcs Joint Venture | Cable, VoIP, other | 11% |
| Bandwidth | Cable, VoIP, other | 4% |
| Frontier | Landline | 3% |
An area code says where a number was issued, not where the caller is: people keep their numbers when they move, and caller ID can be set to show any number, which the FCC calls spoofing. If a call you did not expect asks for money or personal details, the FCC advises hanging up and calling the company back on a number you look up yourself. Unwanted calls can be reported to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
