Area code 952
Area code 952 covers Minneapolis. We hold 2,124 allocated blocks for it across 3 rate centres, split 30% mobile, 54% landline and 15% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 952
Area code 952 does not have Minneapolis to itself. 3 other codes — 612, 651, 763 — 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.
6123,867 blocks, 2 rate centres, mostly mobile
6513,160 blocks, 13 rate centres, mostly landline
7632,640 blocks, 10 rate centres, mostly landline
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 952 number and a 612 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Minneapolis by area code needs all 4 of them.
952 is not confined to Minneapolis itself: its blocks sit across 3 rate centres, named in the table below.

Where 952 numbers are concentrated
Rate-centre names are reproduced as NANPA records them. The agency truncates them to ten characters, so longer names appear shortened elsewhere on this site.

These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 952 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 952?
Area code 952 covers Minneapolis. It is not the only code there: 612, 651, 763 are overlays on the same rate centres, so a Minneapolis number can start with any of them.
Is a 952 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 952 the split runs 30% mobile, 54% landline and 15% VoIP, so landline is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 952 numbers?
The largest holders are Qwest Corporation, Onvoy, Verizon Wireless. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 952 numbers are there?
The code holds 2,124 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 952 covers on the order of 2,124,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
