Phone numbers "from Shelby" are, precisely speaking, numbers whose prefixes are anchored to the Shelby rate center of North Carolina, under 704, 980.
32 central-office prefixes are currently anchored to this rate center across 12 carriers. 24 prefixes participate in thousands-block pooling, so blocks of 1,000 numbers are shared between carriers.
Routing-wise it sits in LATA 422.
Multiple area codes over one rate center (704/980) is the overlay pattern: same geography, different first three digits.
Treat this data as geography of the number, not of the caller: porting, VoIP and caller-ID spoofing all detach the two. When a call matters, hang up and call back through an official number.
