Denver is part of the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area. For routing purposes it sits in LATA 656. Numbers here keep Mountain time.

The assigned code holder is QWEST CORPORATION, operating company number 9636. This is a pooled prefix — expect numbers within it to be split across more than one carrier in 1,000-number blocks.

Caller ID showing 303-401 is not proof the call came from Denver: spoofing and porting both detach numbers from their origin. To verify a caller, hang up and dial the organization's published number, and report suspicious calls to the FTC.
