Find any 900- phone number in Premium
The 900 area code is one of the original North American Numbering Plan (NANP) area codes. This number was among the first set of area codes established in the United States in 1947, making it one of the oldest area codes still in use today. The 900 area code is used for premium rate services, meaning it is attached to premium-priced numbers that charge additional fees for services beyond standard telephone services. This area code is used to provide services such as entertainment, business services, events and voting.
The 900 area code is used for pay-per-call services, and some services may promote their telephone numbers as 1-900 numbers even though they may use different area codes, such as 588 and 676. This area code can only be used if the service provider has a contract and has been approved by the state public utility commission. Additionally, the services and costs associated with 1-900 numbers have to be approved by the Federal Communications Commission before they can be offered to consumers. All states and the federal government regulate 900 services in some way to protect consumers.
