A calling type identification system selects a calling type. The system selects NPA-NXX telephone number blocks for the calling type based on NPA-NXX block categories related to the calling type. The system develops number data for the selected NPA-NXX telephone number blocks. The system receives a telephone number for a call. The system processes the telephone number and the number data to identify and indicate if the telephone call is of the selected calling type.
