About the 717-551 exchange

717-551 is an exchange (the first six digits of a phone number) in area code 717, which covers Pennsylvania. NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to Windstream (PAETEC) for the Harrisburg, PA rate center in 2016. 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 717-551 numbers is usually Eastern time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 717-551 number may not come from Windstream (PAETEC) at all.
