Is 666 a real area code?

Is 666 a real area code?

  • Just wondering because someone recently called me and the number showed up on my caller ID as 666-822-7583 (I dare anyone to call it too.). I know it was a zip code in Louisiana, but it's not anymore, and this was fairly recent. Any idea where it could be from? (Yes, Satan calling me is totally reasonable. -.-)

  • Answer:

    According to NANPA area code search on area 666 http://www.nationalnanpa.com/nas/public/npa_query_step1.do?method=resetNpaReportModel it is not currently an assigned area code. It is also not a geographic area code, meaning it could be assigned to anywhere in North America. Most likely the number was "spoofed". It is very easy for caller-ID to be spoofed these days. So, in reality you can never really be sure any number is what it appears to be (unless you actually know the caller).
