Indiana Phone Numbers

Indiana boasts approximately 8.7 million active phone numbers. Mobile phones dominate with 7.3 million users, while traditional landlines are declining, registering just 330,000 connections across the state. Internet phone services account for roughly 1 million numbers.

When searching for an Indiana phone number, it's highly probable it's a cell phone. The decrease in landlines suggests that more recent phone numbers may be harder to trace than older landline numbers, which traditionally had greater public accessibility.
