Generate fictional US, Canadian, UK and Australian phone numbers with real area codes, in any common format, or list random US area codes by state.
These numbers are fictional test data. Do not call or text them, and do not use them for sign-ups, verification codes or to pose as a real person.
Pick a country and, for the US or Canada, optionally a state or province, choose a format and press Generate. By default every US and Canadian number uses a real area code for the chosen place with the 555-0100 to 555-0199 exchange and line range, which the North American Numbering Plan keeps for fictional use, so nobody's phone rings if a number is dialled by mistake. Tick Show location to see which city each area code serves.
(512) 555-0183 (Austin, Texas)
(617) 555-0129 (Boston, Massachusetts)
+14155550166 (San Francisco, California)Output numbers as (213) 555-0147, 213-555-0147, 213.555.0147, E.164 (+12135550147, the format APIs such as Twilio expect) or international +1 213-555-0147. When a form rejects 555 numbers, switch Number range to Any valid-looking number: it follows NANP rules (exchange starting 2 to 9, no N11 codes) but can match a real subscriber, so never call, text or sign up with it.
Set Generate to Area codes only for random area codes with the city and state they serve, from 233 area codes across all 50 states and DC plus 15 in Canada. Filter by state to list, say, Texas area codes (210, 214, 512, 713, 817 and more). It is handy for geography games, sorting and routing tests, and choosing a realistic area code for a fictional character.
| Country | Fictional range used | Example |
|---|---|---|
| United States and Canada | 555-0100 to 555-0199 with a real area code | (416) 555-0112 |
| United Kingdom | Ofcom drama range 07700 900000 to 900999 | 07700 900461 |
| Australia | ACMA fictional range 0491 570 000 to 999 | 0491 570 238 |
Use them to test sign-up and checkout forms, seed a CRM or database, fill mock-ups and screenshots, or give characters in a story, film or game a number that cannot belong to anyone. They cannot receive SMS codes and must not be used to verify accounts or pose as a real person.
By default no. US and Canadian numbers use the 555-0100 to 555-0199 range reserved for fiction, UK numbers use Ofcom's 07700 900xxx drama range and Australian numbers use 0491 570xxx. The Any valid-looking number option may match a real line, so treat it as test data only.
Yes. Choose the state or Canadian province and every number gets one of that place's real area codes, such as 512 or 713 for Texas.
Set Generate to Area codes only, or open ?mode=area-codes. You get area codes with the city and state they serve, optionally filtered to one state.
E.164 is the international format with a plus sign, country code and number and no spaces, such as +12135550147. Most SMS and calling APIs require it.
No. The numbers are not connected to any phone and must not be used for account verification, sign-ups or impersonation.
