Area code 757
Area code 757 is centred on Norfolk, Virginia. We hold 6,190 allocated blocks for it across 34 rate centres, split 44% mobile, 41% landline and 15% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 757
Area code 757 does not have Norfolk, Virginia to itself. 1 other code — 948 — 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.
948953 blocks, 34 rate centres, mostly VoIP
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 757 number and a 948 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Norfolk, Virginia by area code needs all 2 of them.

Where 757 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Nrfolkzon2 and Nwptnwszn3 are shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 757 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 757?
Area code 757 covers Norfolk, Virginia. It is not the only code there: 948 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Norfolk, Virginia number can start with any of them.
Is a 757 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 757 the split runs 44% mobile, 41% landline and 15% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 757 numbers?
The largest holders are Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile USA, Inc., Omnipoint Communications Cap Operations, Llc. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 757 numbers are there?
The code holds 6,190 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 757 covers on the order of 6,190,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
