NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to Windstream (PAETEC) for the Myrtle Beach, SC 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 843-286 numbers is usually Eastern time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 843-286 number may not come from Windstream (PAETEC) at all.
