Minneapolis, MN Area Code

Area code serving Minneapolis

Minneapolis sits in Minnesota, part of the Midwest region and the Central Time zone. Its area code is 612, which covers the city of Minneapolis and a few adjacent inner-ring suburbs in Hennepin County. 612 has no overlay today, so every Minneapolis landline and mobile number with a local code starts with 612.

612 has served the area since 1947, as one of the original 1947 North American area codes. If the region runs low on numbers, regulators will most likely add an overlay code on top rather than split the area, which would make 10-digit dialing mandatory.

Getting a Minneapolis phone number

Any new landline, mobile or VoIP number from a local carrier in Minneapolis gets the 612 area code. Numbers come from the blocks each carrier holds in the area; a number ported in from elsewhere keeps its original area code, so you may also see out-of-state codes locally.

Dialing in Minneapolis

Minneapolis is covered by the single area code 612 with no overlay, so some local calls may still connect with seven digits. Dialing all 10 digits (area code + seven-digit number) always works and is the safest habit. From outside the US, dial +1, then the area code and number. See 10-digit dialing and overlay area codes for the background. For every code in Minnesota, visit the Minnesota area codes page.
