48 carriers hold the 533 central office codes assigned in 913. Southwestern Bell has the most, with 163 (31%). 408 of the codes (77%) are pooled, meaning the code holder shares blocks of 1,000 numbers with other carriers instead of using all 10,000 itself. The code holder is not necessarily the carrier serving a given number today, since numbers can be ported between providers.

Rate centers and towns in 913

NANPA assigns each central office code to a rate center, the local calling area that decides whether a call is local or toll. 913 has codes in 34 rate centers. Rate center names in the file are abbreviations; where one matches a Census place, the table links to that city's local-number page.
