TL;DR

To find your local area code, look up your city or state on this site, or use the area code lookup tool. Many metros are served by multiple overlay codes, so "your" area code may be one of several — all of which dial the same way.

The fastest ways to find your area code

  • Search by place. Use the search page and type your city or state.
  • Browse your state. Open the states index and pick yours to see every code and the cities it covers.
  • Use the map. Click your state on the area code map.
  • Check a number you have. Paste a local number into the phone number finder.

Why your area might have several codes

If you live in or near a city, you may be inside an overlay — a region served by two or more area codes at once. In that case there isn't one "local" code; new numbers are handed out from whichever code has supply. See the cities index for metros with multiple codes.

Getting a local number

When you sign up for new phone service, your carrier assigns a number from the codes serving your address. If a specific local code matters to you, ask the carrier whether numbers in that code are available, or port a number you already have. Remember that thanks to number portability, the code on a cell phone often reflects where the owner first activated it — not where they live now.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the area code for my location?

Search your city or state on this site, click your state on the area code map, or open your state page from the states index to see every local code.

Why does my city have more than one area code?

Your area is likely served by an overlay, where multiple codes cover the same region. New numbers come from whichever code has availability.

Can I keep my area code if I move?

Often yes. Number portability usually lets you keep your existing mobile number — and its area code — when you move, even to another state.
