NPA NXX Database with Rate Center and Operating Company Number

This NPA NXX database version adds unique, clean, manually verified Rate Center Names and Operating Company Number to our standard Area Code Database. This intuitive element is incredibly helpful for reporting (such as a Call Accounting Software report) or for it to appear in the Caller ID of a telephony application. Telecom industry rate center names are heavily abbreviated such as: “NWYRCYZN01” (our version is: New York City Zone 1).

This NPA NXX Database product is updated regularly as area code time zone data is added and is released monthly. The price includes an initial download and any updates made available throughout your subscription period.

Database Specs

Comma-Separated Values (CSV) Text File

All standard area codes are listed. Toll-free Area codes such as 800, 866, 877 and other specialty area codes are not included in this NPA NXX Database. The first digit is in the range of 2-9, the second digit can be a 0-8, and the third digit can be a 0-9.

The prefix (also called the Exchange or Central Office Code) is next. This is referred to as the ‘NXX’. The first digit is in the range of 2-9, the second and third digits can be a 0-9.

This version includes an intuitive rate center name. Industry rate center names are limited to 10 characters therefore are heavily abbreviated and cryptic. We’ve translated as many as possible into a more meaningful label (35 characters), plus we use upper and lower case the names. This is ideal for using in telephony or call accounting reports.

This version also includes the operating company (telco carrier).

This is the 2-character standard (U.S. Postal Service) state abbreviation. We also include a file called, ‘states.txt’ which will list the state name for each abbreviation.

U.S. Time Zones are in a standard format which is the number of hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) which was formerly called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Greenwich is where the Royal Observatory is located (Southeast London). West of UTC is negative and so all records have negative numbers. The zones range from -5 (Eastern Standard Time) to -10 (Hawaiian Standard Time).

If the area covered by this area code / prefix observes Daylight Saving Time, then the last field will be ‘Y’, otherwise ‘N.’
