Area code 267
Area code 267 is centred on Philadelphia. We hold 7,684 allocated blocks for it across 36 rate centres, split 49% mobile, 37% landline and 14% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 267
Area code 267 does not have Philadelphia to itself. 2 other codes — 215, 445 — 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.
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 267 number and a 215 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Philadelphia by area code needs all 3 of them.
267 is not confined to Philadelphia itself: its blocks sit across 36 rate centres, named in the table below.
Pennsylvania is split across 15 area codes — 267, 484, 724, 717, 570, 814 and others. By allocated blocks 267 is the largest of them, holding 12% of the Pennsylvania total.
Where 267 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Phphsbzn43 and Phphsbzn40 are shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

The largest holder, Verizon Wireless, has 14% of the code.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 267 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 267?
Area code 267 covers Philadelphia. It is not the only code there: 215, 445 are overlays on the same rate centres, so a Philadelphia number can start with any of them.
Is a 267 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 267 the split runs 49% mobile, 37% landline and 14% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 267 numbers?
The largest holders are Verizon Wireless, Onvoy, Omnipoint Communications Enterprises, Lp. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 267 numbers are there?
The code holds 7,684 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 267 covers on the order of 7,684,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
