Arkansas has approximately 3.8 million active phone numbers. Cell phones account for the largest share with 3.2 million users, while traditional landlines have decreased to 167,000 connections statewide. Internet phone services account for about 384,000 numbers.
This data suggests that a search for an Arkansas phone number will most likely return a cell phone. The decline of landlines indicates that newer numbers are often harder to trace compared to older landline numbers, which historically had more publicly available information.

To identify the location of an Arkansas phone number, you need to understand the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) structure that all Arkansas numbers follow: +1 NPA NXX XXXX.
The area code (NPA) is your key to determining location. By matching the three-digit area code to Arkansas's regional assignments, you can identify which part of the state the phone number originates from. Each area code corresponds to specific cities and counties throughout Arkansas, making it possible to narrow down the caller's general location.
Here's a complete list of Arkansas area codes with major cities:
| Area Codes | Cities |
|---|---|
| 327/870 | Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, Texarkana |
| 479 | Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Springdale |
| 501 | Little Rock, North Little Rock, Conway |

Sometimes, a simple reverse phone lookup doesn't give you all the information you need about an Arkansas phone number. With Arkansas's population of over 3 million (3,088,354 as of July 1, 2024) and nearly 70,000 business establishments (69,634 according to 2022 County Business Patterns and Economic Census), alternative search methods can help identify the person or business behind the number.
Social media can be useful when trying to identify a phone number. For example, if you're meeting someone new and want to verify their phone number legitimacy, social media searches can help. You can try searching for the phone number directly on Facebook or LinkedIn.
If you believe the phone number belongs to an Arkansas business, using official state databases can help verify its legitimacy. This is particularly useful if you're considering business partnerships with Arkansas companies or need vendor verification before large purchases.
For the best results, it helps to use these methods together.
