Area code 327 is centred on Jonesboro, Arkansas. We hold 176 allocated blocks for it across 37 rate centres, split 28% mobile, 1% landline and 70% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 327
Area code 327 does not have Jonesboro to itself. 1 other code — 870 — serves 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.
8705,731 blocks, 245 rate centres, mostly mobile
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 327 number and a 870 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Jonesboro by area code needs all 2 of them.
327 is not confined to Jonesboro itself: its blocks sit across 37 rate centres, named in the table below.
Arkansas is split across 4 area codes — 870, 501, 479, 327. By allocated blocks 327 is the 4th largest of them, holding 1% of the Arkansas total.
Where 327 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Mt Home is shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 327 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 327?
Area code 327 covers Jonesboro, Arkansas. It is not the only code there: 870 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Jonesboro, Arkansas number can start with any of them.
Is a 327 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 327 the split runs 28% mobile, 1% landline and 70% VoIP, so VoIP is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 327 numbers?
The largest holders are Onvoy, Bandwidth, Onvoy Spectrum. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 327 numbers are there?
The code holds 176 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 327 covers on the order of 176,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
