Carriers operating in 915
NANPA has assigned 367 915 prefixes (NPA-NXX central-office codes) across 11 rate centers: 34% to wireless carriers, 64% to landline and VoIP operators; 74% are pooled blocks shared by several carriers. 7 prefixes were assigned in the last 12 months (newest 2026-09-16).

What to do about calls from 915 numbers
Before you call back
- Medical & prescriptions is the top named complaint here. Don't confirm your Medicare or insurance number to a caller. Medicare won't cold-call you to sell braces, test kits or plans. Read about Medicare scam calls.
- Look up the full number above. A missed call from 915 with no voicemail is usually a robocall; anyone who needs you will leave a message.
- If it looks like a neighbor's number, it may be spoofed. See calls from your own area code.
- Block repeat callers: iPhone, Android, or your carrier's free filter (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile).
Report it in Texas
- Unwanted sales calls and robocalls: donotcall.gov (FTC). Scams and fraud: ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
- Spoofing, texts and call-blocking problems: FCC consumer complaints.
- State complaints: Texas Attorney General.
- Texas is one of the states that maintains its own Do Not Call registry alongside the federal National Do Not Call Registry, so telemarketers calling Texas numbers are expected to check both lists. Registering on the federal list at donotcall.gov is free and never expires; the state list is administered separately and may have its own registration process and renewal period.
