Area code 214
Area code 214 is centred on Dallas, Texas. We hold 5,315 allocated blocks for it across 23 rate centres, split 50% mobile, 45% landline and 4% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 214
Area code 214 does not have Dallas to itself. 3 other codes — 469, 945, 972 — serve the same rate centres, laid over the same ground rather than dividing it. That is an overlay: a new code added when the old one ran out of numbers, covering the same streets. Two neighbours can hold different area codes, so the code says roughly when a number was issued rather than where it sits.
4697,778 blocks, 42 rate centres, mostly mobile
9453,038 blocks, 41 rate centres, mostly mobile
9725,211 blocks, 43 rate centres, mostly landline
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 214 number and a 469 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Dallas by area code needs all 4 of them.
214 is not confined to Dallas itself: its blocks sit across 23 rate centres, named in the table below.
Texas is split across 28 area codes — 346, 832, 469, 210, 956, 214 and others. By allocated blocks 214 is the 9th largest of them, holding 4% of the Texas total.
Where 214 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Xxxxxxxxxx is shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

The largest holder, Southwestern Bell, has 23% of the code.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 214 number still reports the carrier it started with. Closing that gap needs a live query against the routing database. How line type is derived.

Common questions
Where is area code 214?
Area code 214 covers Dallas, Texas. It is not the only code there: 469, 945, 972 are overlays on the same rate centres, so a Dallas, Texas number can start with any of them.
Is a 214 number a mobile or a landline?
It can be either, and the digits do not say which. North American mobile and landline numbers share the same ranges, so the answer comes from the carrier holding the block. In 214 the split runs 50% mobile, 45% landline and 4% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 214 numbers?
The largest holders are Southwestern Bell, T-Mobile USA, Inc., T-Mobile Usa, Inc.. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 214 numbers are there?
The code holds 5,315 allocated blocks in our copy of the numbering plan. A block is 1,000 or 10,000 consecutive numbers depending on how deeply it has been pooled, so 214 covers on the order of 5,315,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
