The other area codes laid over 919
Area code 919 does not have Raleigh to itself. 1 other code — 984 — 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.
9843,074 blocks, 38 rate centres, mostly mobile

No carrier holds more than 12% of 919; the blocks are spread thin across many companies.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 919 number still reports the carrier it started with. Closing that gap needs a live query against the routing database. How line type is derived.
