Numerical prefixes (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

area codes

'numerical prefixes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for area codes that I've seen is " Phone numbers identifying call destinations".)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal.
