The other area codes laid over 929
Area code 929 does not have New York City to itself. 3 other codes — 347, 718, 917 — 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.
3478,282 blocks, 13 rate centres, mostly mobile
7183,590 blocks, 13 rate centres, mostly landline
9174,266 blocks, 14 rate centres, mostly mobile
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 929 number and a 347 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering New York City by area code needs all 4 of them.

These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 929 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 929?
Area code 929 covers New York City. It is not the only code there: 347, 718, 917 are overlays on the same rate centres, so a New York City number can start with any of them.
Is a 929 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 929 the split runs 65% mobile, 22% landline and 13% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 929 numbers?
The largest holders are Omnipoint Communications, Inc., Verizon Wireless, 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 929 numbers are there?
The code holds 7,731 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 929 covers on the order of 7,731,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
