Reno, NV Area Code

Area code serving Reno

Reno sits in Nevada, part of the West region and the Pacific Time zone. Its area code is 775, which covers all of Nevada outside Clark County, including Reno, Carson City and Elko. 775 has no overlay today, so every Reno landline and mobile number with a local code starts with 775.

775 has served the area since 1998. 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 Reno phone number

Any new landline, mobile or VoIP number from a local carrier in Reno gets the 775 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 Reno

Reno is covered by the single area code 775 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 Nevada, visit the Nevada area codes page.
