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 771?
Area code 771 is in the District of Columbia, in the United States: all 85 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 771, then the seven-digit number.
Is a 771 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 85 exchanges on record in 771, 18 (21%) were allocated as mobile, 27 (32%) as fixed line, 26 (31%) as VoIP and 14 (16%) 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 771?
16 carriers hold exchanges in 771 on record; the most: AT&T (15), Verizon (14) and Onvoy (12). 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 771 phone number?
In E.164 a 771 number matches ^\+1771[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 (771) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
