The other area codes laid over 984
Area code 984 does not have Raleigh to itself. 1 other code — 919 — 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.
9195,632 blocks, 39 rate centres, mostly landline
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 984 number and a 919 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Raleigh 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 984 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 984?
Area code 984 covers Raleigh, North Carolina. It is not the only code there: 919 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Raleigh, North Carolina number can start with any of them.
Is a 984 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 984 the split runs 39% mobile, 33% landline and 27% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 984 numbers?
The largest holders are Onvoy, Verizon Wireless, Bandwidth. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 984 numbers are there?
The code holds 3,074 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 984 covers on the order of 3,074,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
