I see two files in the telecom archives referring to NPA 800: npa.800-carriers.assigned npa.800.revised And the only other available comment at this time is that NPA 800's prefixes USED to indicate what area code they were in and where they were being called from (from within the state or from outside the state), but that is now only partially true if at all. It used to be that prefixes of form NN2 were used to indicate in-state 800.
