The towns inside area code 440
Area code 440 is not a city code. It covers 62 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 440 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.
Ohio is split across 14 area codes — 740, 440, 937, 614, 513, 330 and others. By allocated blocks 440 is the second largest of them, holding 11% of the Ohio total.
Where 440 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Chagrinfls and Brecksvl 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 24% of the code.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 440 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 440?

Is a 440 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 440 the split runs 48% mobile, 42% landline and 11% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 440 numbers?
The largest holders are Verizon Wireless, Onvoy, AT&T Wireless. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 440 numbers are there?
