NANPA lists Level 3 Telecom Of New York as the company holding the 518-213 block, one of 21 518 prefixes it holds. That is who was given the numbers, not who serves each one today: since number portability, any 518-213 number can move to another carrier and change from landline to mobile or VoIP.
Level 3 Telecom Of New York is one of the companies that commonly supply numbers to VoIP and texting apps, so numbers in this block are more likely to be VoIP lines. Only a per-number check confirms it.
