Area code 801
Area code 801 covers Salt Lake, Utah. We hold 4,645 allocated blocks for it across 20 rate centres, split 34% mobile, 57% landline and 10% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 801
Area code 801 does not have Salt Lake to itself. 1 other code — 385 — 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.
3855,338 blocks, 20 rate centres, mostly mobile
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 801 number and a 385 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Salt Lake by area code needs all 2 of them.
801 is not confined to Salt Lake itself: its blocks sit across 20 rate centres, named in the table below.
Utah is split across 3 area codes — 385, 801, 435. By allocated blocks 801 is the second largest of them, holding 35% of the Utah total.
Where 801 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Springvl and Eagle Mtn are shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

The largest holder, Qwest Corporation, has 19% of the code.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 801 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 801?
Area code 801 covers Salt Lake, Utah. It is not the only code there: 385 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Salt Lake, Utah number can start with any of them.
Is a 801 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 801 the split runs 34% mobile, 57% landline and 10% VoIP, so landline is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 801 numbers?
The largest holders are Qwest Corporation, T-Mobile Usa, Inc., Mcimetro Access Transmission Services Llc. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 801 numbers are there?
The code holds 4,645 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 801 covers on the order of 4,645,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
