## Caveats

The holder is the company NANPA assigned the codes to, under the legal name it registered, which can differ from the brand customers see. Numbers port, so a number in one of these prefixes may now be with another carrier. To see which carrier holds a number's block, use the [carrier lookup](https://lookvalid.com/tools/carrier-lookup.md).
