The other area codes laid over 718
Area code 718 does not have New York City to itself. 3 other codes — 347, 917, 929 — 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.
3478,282 blocks, 13 rate centres, mostly mobile
9174,266 blocks, 14 rate centres, mostly mobile
9297,731 blocks, 13 rate centres, mostly mobile
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 718 number and a 347 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering New York City by area code needs all 4 of them.
718 is not confined to New York City itself: its blocks sit across 13 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 718 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 718?
Area code 718 covers New York City. It is not the only code there: 347, 917, 929 are overlays on the same rate centres, so a New York City number can start with any of them.
Is a 718 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 718 the split runs 31% mobile, 64% landline and 5% VoIP, so landline is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 718 numbers?
The largest holders are Verizon New York, Inc. (Verizon Communications), Verizon New York, Inc., 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 718 numbers are there?
The code holds 3,590 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 718 covers on the order of 3,590,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
