Use a Search Engine for an Area Code Search
If you're trying to figure out what part of the country a U.S. area code is related to, all you need to do is type in the area code into most any search engine. This works best in
Google,
Yahoo,
Ask, and
MSN Search; although both
AOL Search and
A9 semi-support it (you'll have to click on a few things to get to the area code information).
