The
Phone Exchange |
The Phone Exchange
is a database reference tool that allows you to take any US and Canadian
phone number and determine its physical location. Using the 3 digit area
code and 3 digit exchange, The Phone Exchange will provide you
with the name of the city and state (or province) plus the current time
where that phone number originates from. The area code is the first 3
digits of a telephone number and indicates a geographical area. It
directs telephone calls to particular regions on a telephone network
where they are then routed by the local telephone network based upon the
next 3 digits. These next 3 digits (which follow after the area code)
are referred to as the local exchange number.
For example, with the phone number
540-371-3905, the number 540 is the area code, and 371 is the local
phone exchange. Based upon these two numbers (540 and 371), and using
this software program, you will discover that this number is located in
Fredericksburg, Virginia. At the same time you will be shown the
current local time at Fredericksburg. The Phone Exchange makes it
easy to trace a phone number to its original physical location.

So why would anyone need or
want to know where a phone number originates from? Well, perhaps you have
a telephone with caller ID and you receive an incoming phone call and you
wish to know where the call is originating from? Using The Phone
Exchange you will find the answer. Or perhaps you are an Internet
merchant who wants another tool which can be used to detect fraudulent
credit card transactions. If you receive an online order from someone
whose "ship to" address is in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but the phone
number they provided you with (after using The Phone Exchange) is
determined to be from Fairbanks, Alaska -- well then, perhaps you might
want to reconsider accepting and processing the incoming order. Or perhaps
you are a mail order merchant in New York and at 10:30 AM local time you
want to know what time it is in the area code 808. Using The Phone
Exchange you'll discover that it is 5:30 AM at area code 808, (and it
would be wise not to call any numbers in that area for a few more hours).
These are just a few examples where The Phone Exchange could prove
to be useful.
