NANPA's central-office code records list POWERTEL ATLANTA LICENSES, INC. (OCN 7473) as the code holder, assigned November 2, 2004. Because 404-496 participates in thousands-block pooling, individual 1,000-number blocks may belong to other carriers than the code holder.
Caller ID showing 404-496 is not proof the call came from Atlanta: 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.
