The other area codes laid over 570
Area code 570 does not have Scranton to itself. 1 other code — 272 — 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.
2723,033 blocks, 131 rate centres, mostly mobile
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 570 number and a 272 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Scranton by area code needs all 2 of them.
570 is not confined to Scranton itself: its blocks sit across 180 rate centres, named in the table below.

Where 570 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Mt Pocono is shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

No carrier holds more than 11% of 570; the blocks are spread thin across many companies.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 570 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 570?
Area code 570 covers Scranton, Pennsylvania. It is not the only code there: 272 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Scranton, Pennsylvania number can start with any of them.
Is a 570 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 570 the split runs 38% mobile, 51% landline and 11% VoIP, so landline is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 570 numbers?
The largest holders are Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Onvoy. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 570 numbers are there?
The code holds 6,249 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 570 covers on the order of 6,249,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
