In North America (USA, Canada, etc.), area codes are randomly distributed; in fact, in most cases the people who assign area code numbers deliberately avoid placing similar codes near one another. Thus, area code 757 is in Virginia, but area code 758 is the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia.
See the related link for a list of North American area codes beginning with 7.

What area codes are the illegal numbers that you are suppose to avoid?
The only North American area code (USA, Canada, etc.) with any particular legal restrictions on it is area code 710, which is for authorized U.S. government users only. Area codes 900 and 700 can be used for premium-rate calls, and should not be dialed by minors.
What area codes charge phone number called?
In North America (USA, Canada, etc.), area codes 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, and 844 (effective Dec. 7, 2013) are toll-free to the caller, so the called number pays the long-distance charges. Those numbers are, in effect, automated collect calls. Area codes 833 and 822 are reserved for future toll-free use. What I suspect you meant, though, is what area codes carry surcharges for content. Area code 900 is for value-added content, including everything from tech support to "psychic" readings to adult chat. Area code 700 also can be used for such purposes, but it is important to note that 700 numbers are dependent on the long-distance carrier used. You will sometimes see advertisements for 101xxxx-1-700-xxx-xxxx, with the prefix code designating the long-distance company that serves that number.
What area codes charge you when you call them?
In North America, area code 900 is used for premium calls. Area code 700 is used for various purposes, depending on your long-distance carrier, and may be used for premium calls. There are also many area codes that look like ordinary U.S. area codes but are located in Canada or on various Caribbean islands; those area codes will be charged at international rates. For instance, area code 757 is in Virginia, but area code 758 is the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. Area codes 800, 888, 877, 866, and 855 are toll-free, and 844, 833, and 822 are reserved for future toll-free use.
Why was it necessary in the 1990s to allow area codes to include a middle digit other than 0 or 1?
The change was necessary because we were just plain running out of telephone numbers. The tremendous growth of cellular phones, fax machines, and competing local telephone companies meant that many area codes needed to split or overlay, but we were up against the limit of the N0X/N1X area code format. The US alone now has almost 300 geographic area codes, plus five toll-free codes and several other non-geographic codes, over 30 area codes in Canada, and 20 geographic area codes for areas that are neither US nor Canadian territory (island countries and territories in or near the Caribbean). Under the original system of area codes, there were only 144 geographic codes possible, plus 8 special codes (700, 800, 900, etc.) and 8 short codes that were not available as area codes (411, 911, etc.). When North America again runs low on available area codes, probably some time in the middle of this century or later, we will probably have to go to 4-digit area codes and 8-digit local numbers.
How do I use a map to find area codes?

What is a general purpose area code?
In North America, general purpose area codes are area codes that are available for assignment as geographic area codes; in other words, all unassigned area codes that are not reserved for other purposes. Area codes ending in '11' are unusable due to conflict with N11 short codes such as 911 and 711. Area codes with the second and third digit the same are reserved as "easily remembered" codes such as 800/888/877/866/855/844 toll-free and 900 premium numbers. Area codes with '9' as the middle digit are reserved for future expansion. Most other unassigned area codes in the range 200 to 999 are general purpose area codes.
