Fake Addresses resolves area codes for the random phone number generator at state precision today, not yet at county or rate-centre precision. A state such as Texas spans dozens of real area codes, and the generator pairs a random test number with one area code drawn from that state's full list rather than guessing which specific city or rate centre the number would actually belong to. This page states that limit plainly rather than implying a precision the underlying dataset does not yet have.
County-level and rate-centre-level area code mapping is a planned data-pipeline improvement, tracked the same way every other coverage gap on Fake Addresses is tracked — measured, published, and never rounded up. Until that ships, every generated number still clears the one guarantee that matters for a QA suite: the 555-0100 to 555-0199 line-number range the the published numbering plan reserves for fiction, so no generated number can ever reach a real phone regardless of which of a state's area codes it is paired with.
A state page such as the Texas phone number generator lists every real area code in the published dataset for that state, so nothing about the pairing is hidden behind a single hard-coded default. Browsing by state below is the fastest way to see exactly which area codes are available today.

Will a generated phone number ever reach a real person?
No. Every number the random phone number generator on Fake Addresses returns uses the 555-0100–555-0199 line-number range the the published numbering plan reserves specifically for film, television and testing, so it is guaranteed non-dialable regardless of which area code it is paired with.
Are the area codes real?
Yes — on Fake Addresses, the area code prefix is a real, in-service NPA for the chosen state. Only the 555-01xx line number is reserved and non-dialable, matching how fictional phone numbers are built for film and television production.
Can I generate numbers for a specific state?
Yes — browse all US states below, then generate Fake Addresses test numbers built from that state’s own real area codes, never from one hard-coded default number shared by every state in the dataset.
Prohibited uses of Fake Addresses test dataProhibited use
Do not use these addresses to deceive anyone. Do not use them on government forms, tax filings, financial or KYC applications, school-enrolment records, voter registration, insurance claims, shipping labels, or anywhere a truthful address is legally required.
