Idaho Area Code, United States

Find the real owner of someone with a 208 Idaho area code

Idaho

Idaho joined the United States in 1890. Famed for its picturesque landscape, Idaho is a high-tech industrial state where nearly 2 million people live. Depending on their geographical location, these residents have phone numbers that sport one of the two Idaho area codes. Information on phone number owners in Idaho is available with a reverse phone lookup on the Idaho phone numbers database.

Idaho started using area codes in 1947 when the telephone companies retired switchboards and adopted area codes to improve long-distance calling. This change also led to creating the North American Numbering Plan Administration, the independent entity that plans and issues area codes as a needs-basis. 

Until recently, persons who wish to identify unknown callers in Idaho must look through physical phonebook directories called white pages. However, this method is not widely accessible, and phonebooks do not update fast enough to reflect new phone number owners in an area. So, phone companies stopped publishing phonebook directories. 

Today, the online Idaho phone numbers database is a comprehensive directory listing the full names and contact details of phone number owners in Idaho. 

How does this work? When a resident purchases a phone number, their mobile carriers typically require them to register personal information and contact details. This registration and the uniqueness of a phone number make it possible to obtain information about a phone number owner with a reverse phone lookup.

Consider the typical Idaho phone number, 208-NXX-XXXX. The first three digits of the phone number, the area code, represent a defined county or city in Idaho. 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 Idaho phone numbers database accurate. A reverse phone search will typically provide the phone number owner’s personal information and public records.
