Area code 469 is centred on Dallas. We hold 7,778 allocated blocks for it across 42 rate centres, split 47% mobile, 43% landline and 10% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 469
Area code 469 does not have Dallas to itself. 3 other codes — 214, 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.
2145,315 blocks, 23 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 469 number and a 214 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Dallas by area code needs all 4 of them.
469 is not confined to Dallas itself: its blocks sit across 42 rate centres, named in the table below.

These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 469 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 469?
Area code 469 covers Dallas. It is not the only code there: 214, 945, 972 are overlays on the same rate centres, so a Dallas number can start with any of them.
Is a 469 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 469 the split runs 47% mobile, 43% landline and 10% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 469 numbers?
The largest holders are AT&T Wireless, Onvoy, 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 469 numbers are there?
The code holds 7,778 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 469 covers on the order of 7,778,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
