Who calls from a 802 number
NANPA records the carrier each block of 802 numbers is assigned to. Of the 4.8 million 802 numbers assigned, 47% are with cable, internet-calling, business and other carriers (Onvoy, Bandwidth and Level 3); 31% with local phone companies (Consolidated Communications Of Vermont Company); 22% with mobile carriers (Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility).
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Consolidated Communications Of Vermont Company | Landline | 21% |
| Onvoy | Cable, VoIP, other | 16% |
| Verizon Wireless | Mobile | 8% |
| Bandwidth | Cable, VoIP, other | 7% |
| AT&T Mobility | Mobile | 7% |
| Level 3 | Cable, VoIP, other | 6% |
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.
