Identify Phone Number Location Using Maine Area Codes

To identify the location of an Maine phone number, you need to understand the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) structure that all Alabama numbers follow: +1 NPA NXX XXXX.

+1 - Country code indicating the United States
NPA - The area code reveals the geographic region where the number was originally assigned
NXX - Central office code that locates the specific neighborhood and identifies the service provider
XXXX - Subscriber number identifies the individual phone line within that local exchange

The area code (NPA) is your key to determining location. By matching the three-digit area code to Maine'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 Maine, making it possible to narrow down the caller's general location.

Here's a complete list of Maine area codes with major cities:

Area Codes	Cities
207	Portland, Lewiston, Bangor

For latest Maine phone numbering regulations, contact Michael Johnson at the Maine PUC via [email protected] or 207-287-1572.

Important: Area codes can only tell you where a phone number was originally assigned, not where the phone number owner currently lives. Due to number portability and mobile/VoIP services, the actual user location may be completely different today.
