Oregon became a US state after it ratified the federal constitution in 1859. Since then, the state has grown to become a major agriculture and technology powerhouse in the United States. Over 4 million people live in Oregon and most persons will have a phone number for personal or business purposes. You can find the general location of the unknown person who called you by looking at the area code. However, additional information such as the person’s name and address is only available when you perform a reverse phone lookup on the Oregon phone numbers database.
Oregon started using area codes in 1947 when the telephone companies elected to replace switchboards with area codes. This change led to the creation of the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, the independent entity responsible for allocating area codes based on geographical locations in the United States.
Until recently, persons who wish to identify unknown callers in Oregon must look through physical white pages, for individuals, and yellow pages for businesses. This method is not widely accessible and requires that you purchase a physical phonebook. However, phone companies have stopped publishing phonebook directories and moved on to online databases.
Like the transition from manual switchboards to area codes, the transition to an online Oregon phone numbers database has several advantages. Most notably, it is faster, easier, and cheaper to identify Oregon residents based solely on their phone numbers and obtain relevant public records.
How does this work? When a resident purchases a phone number, they are required to provide their personal information and contact details to the mobile carrier. The components of a phone number further make this information further unique to the phone number owner.
Consider the typical Oregon phone number, 503-NXX-XXXX. The first three digits of the phone number, the area code, represent a defined county or city in Oregon. The next three digits, NXX, the prefix code, specify the specific town or street where the phone number owner resides. Finally, the line number, XXXX, is unique to the specific owner. So, if the phone number were to be a house address, the line number would be a specific flat number or house number.
Many persons can have the same area code and prefix code. However, the line number is unique to a specific individual. No two persons have the same line number. This degree of specificity makes searching the Oregon phone numbers database accurate. A reverse phone search will typically provide the phone number owner’s personal information and public records.
