In the U.S., the FCC manages N11 codes. The FCC recognizes 211, 311, 511, 811 and 911 as nationally assigned. The table below summarizes N11 assignments and traditional usage.
In some states, N11 codes that are not assigned nationally may be assigned locally, if these local assignments can be withdrawn quickly if a national assignment is made for that N11 number.
N11 Code | Description |
211 | Community Information and Referral Service |
311 | Non-Emergency Police and other Governmental Services |
411 | Local Directory Assistance |
511 | Traffic and Transportation Information |
611 | Telephone Repair Service |
811 | Access to One call Services to Protect Pipelines and Utilities from Excavation Damage (US); Non-Urgent Health Teletriage Services (Canada) |
