Area Code Node

You can add an Area Code node to a data job to match information from the phone reference database with ZIP codes in your data to calculate Area Code, Overlay, and Result values. To use the Area Code node, you must have ZIP codes in your data. You can create the codes with the Address Verification (US/Canada) node.
