Where is area code 140?
I received a telephone call today (2/4) at around 9PM, and again on
2/5 at 3:00AM from the same number, with a 140 area code. I don't
know where this is. Can you help? Thank you. |

What number was after the 0? Also, how many digits were there in the
telephone number?

Assuming rainbow is correct, and the "1" indicates a long distance
number, these are your possibilities:
Area Code Listing, by Number
http://www.bennetyee.org/ucsd-pages/area.html
401 RI -5 Rhode Island
402 NE -6 E Nebraska: Omaha, Lincoln
403 AB -7 Canada: Southern Alberta (see 780, 867)
404 GA -5 N Georgia: Atlanta and suburbs (see overlay 678, split 770)
405 OK -6 W Oklahoma: Oklahoma City (see 580)
406 MT -7 Montana
407 FL -5 Central Florida: Metro Orlando (see overlay 689, eff 7/02; split 321)
408 CA -8 Cent. Coastal California: San Jose (see overlay 669)
409 TX -6 SE Texas: Galveston, Port Arthur (splits 936, 979)
Do any of these look familiar?

Hi, Cynthia -
I know that my caller-id does not show a "1" for typical long distance
calls (we get a lot from out of state friends & relatives). So I am
doubting the "1" was indicating a long distance call. My best guess
is that it is indicating an international call...of which my caller-id
cut off the entire number?
I clarified earlier but the powers that be said that it defied the
terms & conditions. To specifically answer Rainbow's previous
clarification request:
The number after the 0 was "4." As in, my caller ID read:
140-4XX-XXXX. There were ten total digits in the number.
Thanks you!! This is a real mystery for me. I don't like getting
calls at 3:00AM from who-knows-where!

Very strange. If you look at that link above, there are no area codes
starting with "1" --and here's an International page:
INTERNATIONAL CALLING CODES

Nothing with "140" at all.

What a mystery! "Technically" there are no area codes in the 100
range, so I'm stumped. I think the easiest way to find out where this
call is originating from is to wait till you see the number calling
again, and answer it!
If you ever figure it out, please come back and tell us!
