The displayed number may be spoofed. Do not rely on an area code as proof of caller identity. If the caller claims to represent a business, end the call and contact that business using a number you found independently.
Common questions about 877
Does 877 mean the caller is in a specific place?
No. An area code is an assignment, and a person can travel, move, use internet calling, or display a spoofed number.
Can this page identify who called?
No. OfficialAreaCode has no live subscriber directory or spam-report database.
