Area Codes of the United States

Given that the United States is a large nation both geographically and in terms of population telephone numbers must be broken up into area codes in order to properly service the entire country. When area codes were initially assigned to different regions in the 1940s original combinations could suffice with a smaller number of telephone users (such as the New York City code, 212, the fastest area code that could be dialed on traditional rotary phones). With the implementation of many more land lines and cellular phones however, area codes had to be assigned more and more in order to provide proper coverage.

An area code is a 3-digit prefix to any basic phone number made up of a following seven numbers (ex. (914)555-5555 where ‘914’ makes up the area code portion of the telephone number in New York State). Area codes are put into use in order to identify the following seven digits based on area. Some American states may still make use of one area code but this is becoming much more of an exception as time goes forward.

In a less populated area such as Wyoming, for example, only the area code 307 is necessary to make calls for residents of the state. In Texas, on the other hand, one may need to know which area code to choose from before dialing, considering that there are a great deal of codes for a state of this size (210, 214, 254, 281, 325, 361, 409, 430, 432, 469, 512, 682, 713, 806, 817, 830, 832, 903, 915, 936, 940, 956, 972, and 979 are all Texas area codes). Obviously the correct area code is necessary to call as evidenced in the large state made example of above.

Even within one city it is difficult to dial accurately without knowing which area code is appropriate. Just in New York City alone, the aforementioned 212 only covers a portion of the telephones in use while calling to different boroughs may require a specific code (such as 917 or 646 for NYC or 631 for Suffolk County, Long Island). Dialing within a heavily populated state like New York requires that the area is known otherwise a duplicate number could accidentally be rung instead of the intended recipient of your telephone call.

Within the state as well, area codes are broken up according to region. Dialing in Rochester, New York requires the 585 area code whereas in Eastern Upstate New York, 518 would be used. These are all just small examples of how many different area codes make up telephone numbers in the United States.

It is essential to know which area code you need to make use of before dialing the rest of the telephone number or else important calls and messages could be lost and contacts never properly reached. By a few minutes of simple research you can locate the United States area code that intended and ensure that your telephone call makes it to individual or business you need to get into contact with.
