Area code 900 is a non-geographic code, meaning it is not associated with any specific place. It is used for premium "value-added" services, including telephone technical support, supposedly lucky lottery numbers, and sex chat lines. Note that calling a 900 number will cost substantially more than an ordinary long distance call.
