So that means there are 8*100 -2 = 798 possible area codes.
There are 797 possible 'middle three' digit sequences.
There are 10,000 possibilities (0000-9999) for the last 4 digits.

M$This does not include the cell phone or businesses and their phones:
81% of the population has a cell phone.
Business land lines are not accounted for, but for individuals, and all cell phones, the number today exceeds the number of people in the US.
Current population of the US is
304,059,724 (www.google.com/publicdata)
at 81%, yields about 246million cell phones plus the 109 million land lines, along with any businesses, we could be looking at nearly 400 million or more phone numbers in the US
