To identify the location of an Virginia phone number, you need to understand the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) structure that all Alabama numbers follow: +1 NPA NXX XXXX.
The area code (NPA) is your key to determining location. By matching the three-digit area code to Virginia'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 Virginia, making it possible to narrow down the caller's general location.
