The other area codes laid over 812
Area code 812 does not have Evansville to itself. 1 other code — 930 — 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.
9301,071 blocks, 88 rate centres, mostly VoIP
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 812 number and a 930 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Evansville by area code needs all 2 of them.

These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 812 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 812?
Area code 812 covers Evansville, Indiana. It is not the only code there: 930 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Evansville, Indiana number can start with any of them.
Is a 812 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 812 the split runs 41% mobile, 46% landline and 12% VoIP, so landline is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 812 numbers?
The largest holders are Verizon Wireless, Onvoy, AT&T Wireless. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 812 numbers are there?
The code holds 5,933 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 812 covers on the order of 5,933,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
