The exchange patterns follow the original allocations; a number ported since keeps its digits but not necessarily its carrier or its line type.

Questions developers ask

Where is area code 472?
Area code 472 is in North Carolina, in the United States: all 121 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 472, then the seven-digit number.
Is a 472 number mobile or landline?
Either: in the North American Numbering Plan the line type belongs to the exchange (the three digits after the area code), not to the area code. Of the 121 exchanges on record in 472, 47 (39%) were allocated as mobile, 16 (13%) as fixed line, 44 (36%) as VoIP and 14 (12%) have no line type on record. A number can have been ported since, to another carrier and even to another line type.
Which carriers have numbers in area code 472?
21 carriers hold exchanges in 472 on record; the most: AT&T (34), Onvoy (31) and T-Mobile (8). These are the original allocations: with number portability, a number may be served by another carrier today, which only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) can tell.
How do I validate a 472 phone number?
In E.164 a 472 number matches ^\+1472[2-9]\d{6}$: +1, the area code, a central office code that does not start with 0 or 1, then four digits. Written nationally it reads (472) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
