Area code 786
Area code 786 covers Miami, Florida. We hold 7,608 allocated blocks for it across 5 rate centres, split 60% mobile, 20% landline and 19% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 786
Area code 786 does not have Miami to itself. 2 other codes — 305, 645 — 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.
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 786 number and a 305 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Miami by area code needs all 3 of them.
786 is not confined to Miami itself: its blocks sit across 5 rate centres, named in the table below.
Florida is split across 23 area codes — 786, 904, 561, 813, 352, 407 and others. By allocated blocks 786 is the largest of them, holding 9% of the Florida total.

These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 786 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 786?
Area code 786 covers Miami, Florida. It is not the only code there: 305, 645 are overlays on the same rate centres, so a Miami, Florida number can start with any of them.
Is a 786 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 786 the split runs 60% mobile, 20% landline and 19% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 786 numbers?
The largest holders are Omnipoint Miami E License, Llc, Bandwidth, 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 786 numbers are there?
The code holds 7,608 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 786 covers on the order of 7,608,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
