Cellphone providers like Sprint PCS generally have entire exchange
codes allocated to their services. (The exchange code being the
4th-6th digits in the 10-digit US phone number format: (AREACODE)
EXCHANGE-NUMBER, as in (XXX) YYY-ZZZZ, where the three Y digits
represent the exchange code.) If you dial a particular area code and
then an exchange code dedicated to the provider, any final four digits
you follow with will yield a phone number reserved for that service.
Real examples: (703) 587-xxxx, (617) 271-xxxx, and (973) 698-xxxx are
all Sprint PCS exchanges. In other words, 587,271, and 698 are the
exchange codes for the area codes 703,617, and 973 respectively. I am
looking for any exchange code for the 401 area code that is reserved
for the Sprint PCS network. Multiple ones would be great, but just one
would answer my question sufficiently. Thanks for your help!

Hello kow,


Thank you for your question. 

This proved to be an interesting search.

I searched a number of terms and finally hit gold with [sprint +401
+exchange OR prefix] where I located:

Here you will find the following exchanges for Sprint Spectrum LP in
area code 401:

To verify that indeed, Sprint Spectrum LP is Sprint PCS cellular, I
visited this page:

http://216.239.39.100/search?q=cache:S_pGbTvQS2wC:www.state.vt.us/psb/orders/document/5918procorder.pdf+sprint+spectrum+lp&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

Where it shows that this is a dba (doing business as) for Sprint PCS.

I trust my research has answered your question. If a link above should
fail to work or anything require further explanation, please do post a
Request for Clarification and I will be pleased to assist further.
