The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is an integrated telephone numbering plan that governs the dialing of telephone calls in twenty-three countries inNorth America, including the US and Canada. The NANP assigns area codes to various regions and cities throughout the US and Canada with a three-digit code. In most cases, the first digit of the area code denotes the geographic location of the region within the continental United States. For instance, the 218 area code forms part of the larger 200-299 area code group referred to as the “Midwest,” which includes North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin. This type of notation is called a geographic split. The second and third digits also indicate the particular geographical area within the region that is served by the area code.
