The NANP is a system that divides and assigns telephone numbers throughout the United States, Canada, certain Caribbean nations, and some other locations.

The NANP is a ten-digit telephone numbering system designed to facilitate direct dialing between areas and communities. It is divided into three parts – the area code, the three-digit central office code/exchange code, and the four-digit subscriber number. The area code is considered the most significant part of the ten-digit number, as it is the first 3 digits and identifies a geographic region. The 850 area code is used to identify calls that originate in the region of Florida previously listed.
