Common Terms

• NPA - Numbering Plan Area (also known as an Area Code)
• NXX - the 3 digits after an NPA in a phone number (aka prefix, exchange, central office code)
• NANP - North American Numbering Plan - US, most US Territories, Canada, and several island countries in the Atlantic and Caribbean and other areas where telephone numbers follow the Area Code / prefix concept.
• V&H - Vertical & Horizontal - a set of numbers used in telephony, derived from Latitude/Longitude, to pinpoint a location.  These are used in assessing distances between two points for call rating purposes, network access charges and related telephony bases needs.
• Rate Center - a point within a Rate Exchange Area. Generally, calls originating and terminating within these areas are considered local. However, please note that a Rate Exchange Area is NOT usually one-to-one with Local Calling Area (which may extend across Rate Exchange Areas). TRA provides Local Calling Area information only via the LCADS product.
• LATA - Local Access Transport Area - geographical areas, defined by the US Justice Department, which limit the range certain major local exchange carriers are permitted to transport telephone calls.
