Prefix 813-206 — Tampa, FL
813-206 identifies a block of numbers in Tampa, FL, within the 813 area code. Every US prefix is tied to exactly one rate center; this one is Tampa.
The rate center lies in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL Metropolitan Statistical Area. The serving LATA is 952. Local time follows the Eastern zone.
Treat the on-screen number as a hint, not evidence — 813-206 can be spoofed like any US prefix. If a call feels off, verify through an official callback number and file a complaint with the FCC or FTC.
NANPA's central-office code records list PAETEC ITEL, LLC (OCN 829J) as the code holder, assigned January 8, 2007. Because 813-206 participates in thousands-block pooling, individual 1,000-number blocks may belong to other carriers than the code holder.
