The towns inside area code 225
Area code 225 is not a city code. It covers 35 separate rate centres — billing areas, each its own local calling zone. The largest of them are named in the table below.
That matters twice over. A call between two 225 numbers is not necessarily a local call, because they can sit in different rate centres. And a code this wide narrows a subscriber to a region rather than a town.
Louisiana is split across 5 area codes — 318, 337, 504, 225, 985. By allocated blocks 225 is the 4th largest of them, holding 19% of the Louisiana total.
Where 225 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Denham Spg and Donaldsnvl are shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

The largest holder, AT&T Wireless, has 21% of the code.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 225 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 225?
Area code 225 is centred on Baton Rouge, Louisiana and spans 35 rate centres, so it covers a region rather than a town.
Is a 225 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 225 the split runs 44% mobile, 40% landline and 16% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 225 numbers?
The largest holders are AT&T Wireless, Onvoy, Bellsouth Telecomm Inc Dba South Central Bell Tel. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 225 numbers are there?
The code holds 4,149 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 225 covers on the order of 4,149,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
