By population, its largest named places are Allentown, Reading, Bethlehem, Easton, and Pottstown.

42 carriers hold the 786 central office codes assigned in 484. Paetec Itel, LLC has the most, with 152 (19%). 722 of the codes (92%) are pooled, meaning the code holder shares blocks of 1,000 numbers with other carriers instead of using all 10,000 itself.
