St. Cloud, MN Area Code

Area code serving St. Cloud

St. Cloud sits in Minnesota, part of the Midwest region and the Central Time zone. Its area code is 320, which covers central and west-central Minnesota around St. Cloud, Willmar and Alexandria. 320 has no overlay today, so every St. Cloud landline and mobile number with a local code starts with 320.

320 has served the area since 1996. 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 St. Cloud phone number

Any new landline, mobile or VoIP number from a local carrier in St. Cloud gets the 320 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 St. Cloud

St. Cloud is covered by the single area code 320 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.
