Ppl from the US?

[slleipnir]

Is 738 (area code 781) a US #? My friend who is visiting gave me this number to call him, and its not an island number -sigh- guess I won't be seeing him then lmao..

That area code is in Massachusetts. That's all I know All U.S. numbers have a three digit area code followed by a 7 digit number.

Sure that's his area code and not the first 3 digits? 783 in Indiana is south east. Try looking him up in the white pages on your 'puter!!

Houston has a 781 area code among their many others.

Aly, surely you mean a 781 exchange? Only one place can have an area code - and 781 is just west of where I'm typing this from.

US phone numbers go:

1- then Area Code (3 numbers) then Exchange (3 numbers) then four more numbers.

For example, 1-781-237-0066 is Miss Hoppy's Vet's office number!

I have used this site a few times.

Here is the main site
Melissa Data Corp


At the top of the page is

Free Lookups


on that page is lookups for everything from Area Codes to Zip Codes. I think it mostly US data.

It says
