Ownership & Funding

Last reviewed: September 16, 2026

Who operates this site

NumberResearch.org is a research publication operated and funded by GreatNumber LLC, a commercial marketplace for phone numbers.

We state this plainly because readers should know who pays for the research they read. GreatNumber LLC covers the costs of running this site, including data infrastructure and editorial work. In this document and across the site, GreatNumber LLC is referred to as "the Publisher."

What this means — and what it does not

• The Publisher operates a commercial business in the phone number market. That is a real commercial interest, and we disclose it rather than obscure it.
• Our datasets and research are built from public, official sources and follow the process described in our Methodology and Editorial Standards. Facts must trace to official sources regardless of who funds the site.
• We do not accept payment from third parties to alter data, rankings, or research conclusions.

No affiliation with administrators or regulators

NumberResearch.org is not affiliated with or endorsed by NANPA, Somos, the FCC, the CRTC, or any regulator. We are not a numbering administrator, and nothing on this site constitutes an official record, assignment, or regulatory determination. References to those organizations describe publicly available materials they publish; the authoritative versions of those materials are always the ones on their own sites.

Advertising and commercial links

If any page on this site links to a commercial service operated by the Publisher or carries advertising, that relationship falls under the disclosure on this page. We do not present commercial placements as research findings.
