How do I find out where an area code is from?

Type the three-digit area code into the search box above. It returns the primary city or region it covers, the state or province, and the time zone. You can also search the other way — type a city (like “Seattle”) or a state to see its area codes.

Does the area code tell me the caller's exact location?

Not anymore. An area code tells you where a number was originally assigned, but US and Canadian rules let people keep their number when they move (number portability) and mobile numbers travel with the owner. So a 212 number might belong to a New Yorker who now lives in Denver. The area code is a strong hint about origin, not proof of current location.

Can an area code tell me if a call is spam?

On its own, no. Scammers often spoof a local area code (“neighbor spoofing”) to look familiar, and toll-free or unfamiliar codes aren't automatically spam. The area code is one signal — combine it with whether you recognize the number and whether they left a voicemail.

Why do some cities have more than one area code?

When a region runs out of available phone numbers, the carrier adds a second area code on top of the same geographic area instead of splitting it — this is called an overlay. That's why Los Angeles has 213, 323, and others, and why new numbers in an old area often get a brand-new code. Overlays are why you sometimes have to dial all ten digits even for a local call.

What are toll-free area codes?

Toll-free numbers use 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, and 833. They aren't tied to a location — the business you're calling pays for the call instead of you. The 900 code is the opposite: a premium-rate number where the caller is charged extra.

What's the difference between an area code and a country code?

A country code routes a call to a nation (+1 for the US and Canada, +44 for the UK). An area code is the next three digits within the North American +1 zone that route the call to a region. So a full US number is +1, then the 3-digit area code, then the 7-digit local number.

What is an area code?

An area code is the first three digits of a 10-digit North American phone number. It routes a call to a geographic region within the North American Numbering Plan (the +1 zone, which covers the US, Canada, and several Caribbean nations). After the area code come a three-digit prefix and a four-digit line number.

Area codes were introduced in 1947, and the famous ones — 212 for Manhattan, 213 for Los Angeles — date back to that first plan. As regions ran out of numbers, carriers added overlays (a second code over the same area) rather than redrawing boundaries, which is why a single city can have several codes and why you often have to dial all ten digits locally.

One thing an area code no longer tells you reliably is where someone is. Number portability lets people keep their number when they move, and mobile numbers travel with their owner — so the area code is a strong hint about where a number started, not where the person lives today.

Area code FAQ

How do I find out where an area code is from?+
Type the three-digit area code into the search box above. It returns the primary city or region it covers, the state or province, and the time zone. You can also search the other way — type a city (like “Seattle”) or a state to see its area codes.
Does the area code tell me the caller's exact location?+
Not anymore. An area code tells you where a number was originally assigned, but US and Canadian rules let people keep their number when they move (number portability) and mobile numbers travel with the owner. So a 212 number might belong to a New Yorker who now lives in Denver. The area code is a strong hint about origin, not proof of current location.
Can an area code tell me if a call is spam?+
On its own, no. Scammers often spoof a local area code (“neighbor spoofing”) to look familiar, and toll-free or unfamiliar codes aren't automatically spam. The area code is one signal — combine it with whether you recognize the number and whether they left a voicemail.
Why do some cities have more than one area code?+
When a region runs out of available phone numbers, the carrier adds a second area code on top of the same geographic area instead of splitting it — this is called an overlay. That's why Los Angeles has 213, 323, and others, and why new numbers in an old area often get a brand-new code. Overlays are why you sometimes have to dial all ten digits even for a local call.
What are toll-free area codes?+
Toll-free numbers use 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, and 833. They aren't tied to a location — the business you're calling pays for the call instead of you. The 900 code is the opposite: a premium-rate number where the caller is charged extra.
What's the difference between an area code and a country code?+
A country code routes a call to a nation (+1 for the US and Canada, +44 for the UK). An area code is the next three digits within the North American +1 zone that route the call to a region. So a full US number is +1, then the 3-digit area code, then the 7-digit local number.
