Understanding US Phone Numbers

US phone numbers follow a 10-digit structure: a 3-digit area code followed by a 7-digit local number, often formatted as (area) local for readability.

Area Codes: Geographically assigned, like 212 (Manhattan) or 713 (Houston), totaling over 300 active codes
Local Numbers: The last 7 digits, with the first three (exchange) following specific rules to avoid all-zero patterns
Valid Patterns: Avoids real assignments but mimics structure for testing, e.g., no 555-01XX for fictional use
International Prefix: Often prefixed with +1 for global dialing, supported in export options

This tool uses a database of 300+ valid area codes to ensure realism, helping validate regex patterns like /^$\d3$ \d3-\d4$/ in your code.

Advanced Features & State Selection

State-Specific Generation

Filter by state to generate numbers using local area codes, e.g., 480/602 for Arizona or 305/786 for Florida. This adds geographic context for regional testing.

Bulk & Export Options

Produce lists of 50+ numbers and export to CSV for importing into Excel, SQL databases, or JSON for API mocks.

Format Customization

Toggle between formatted views, E.164 international (+15551234567), or raw digits to match your validation library.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these phone numbers real?

No, these are randomly generated numbers following the US phone number format. While they use valid area codes, they are not connected to real phone lines or assigned to actual users, ensuring privacy and compliance.

Can I use these numbers for testing?

Yes! These numbers are perfect for testing applications, databases, or any system that requires phone number validation without using real phone numbers. They help simulate user inputs accurately.

How are area codes selected?

Area codes are chosen from a database of valid US codes, optionally filtered by state. This ensures geographic realism, such as 602 for Arizona or 415 for San Francisco, without generating invalid combinations.

What formats are supported?

The tool supports multiple formats including (XXX) XXX-XXXX, XXX-XXX-XXXX, and international +1 XXX-XXX-XXXX. You can customize the output to match your application's requirements.

Is there a limit to how many I can generate?

You can generate up to 100 phone numbers per batch to maintain performance. For larger needs, regenerate or use bulk options in your integrated code.

Security & Privacy Considerations

Generated numbers are entirely fictional to protect privacy, but follow these guidelines:

Fictional Only: No risk of generating active numbers; uses safe ranges to avoid real assignments
Testing Best Practices: Ideal for non-production; never use in live systems to prevent accidental outreach
Compliance: Supports GDPR/HIPAA by avoiding PII; combine with anonymized data in demos
