Area code 828

North Carolina, United States

National (828) 555-0123, E.164 +18285550123

How the 749 central office codes (exchanges) of area code 828 were allocated, from the North American Numbering Plan's records: to which carrier, as which line type. A 828 number is mobile, fixed line or VoIP according to its exchange, the three digits after the area code; the allocation is the original one (below).

Questions developers ask

Where is area code 828?
Area code 828 is in North Carolina, in the United States: all 749 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 828, then the seven-digit number.
Is a 828 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 749 exchanges on record in 828, 264 (35%) were allocated as mobile, 361 (48%) as fixed line, 100 (13%) as VoIP and 24 (3%) 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 828?
47 carriers hold exchanges in 828 on record; the most: AT&T (214), Verizon (88) and Lumen (76). 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 828 phone number?
In E.164 a 828 number matches ^\+1828[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 (828) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
