The other area codes laid over 717
Area code 717 does not have Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to itself. 1 other code — 223 — 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.
2232,308 blocks, 107 rate centres, mostly mobile
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 717 number and a 223 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Harrisburg, Pennsylvania by area code needs all 2 of them.

Where 717 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Landisvl and Millersvl are 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 717; 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 717 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 717?
Area code 717 covers Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It is not the only code there: 223 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania number can start with any of them.
Is a 717 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 717 the split runs 39% mobile, 46% landline and 16% VoIP, so landline is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 717 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.
