About the 240-253 exchange

240-253 is an exchange (the first six digits of a phone number) in area code 240, which covers Maryland. NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to Bandwidth for the Washington Grove, MD rate center. Numbers from this carrier are usually VoIP / internet phone lines.

People keep their number when they move or switch carrier, so this is where the number was first assigned, not where the caller is today. Local time for 240-253 numbers is usually Eastern time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 240-253 number may not come from Bandwidth at all.
