Who calls from a 402 number

NANPA records the carrier each block of 402 numbers is assigned to. Of the 7.2 million 402 numbers assigned, 42% are with local phone companies (Qwest (CenturyLink) and Windstream); 31% with mobile carriers (Verizon Wireless, AT&T Mobility and T-Mobile); 27% with cable, internet-calling, business and other carriers (Onvoy).

That is who the numbers were assigned to: people keep their number when they change carrier, so any one number may have moved since.

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.

Not necessarily. An area code says where the number was first issued. People keep their numbers when they move or switch carriers, and calling software can show any number, so a 402 call can come from anywhere.
