ok well we all know that the first 3 numbers in a phone number r the area code. Im wondering what the next 3 numbers represent

like lets say this is your number:

123-456-7890

123 is the area code
what is 456?

the reason im wondering is because im tyring to figure out the location of a phone number

idk it might not be anything, but im thinking it is because if it wasn't then they probably wouldn't have a hyphen after it

this is for cell phone numbers, not home phone numbers

456 used to be known as the "exchange"... I believe it is an antiquated term....
