Why metro west Des Moines has 2 area codes

When a region uses more numbers than one code can hold, new codes are overlaid on the same territory rather than forcing anyone to change numbers. Metro West Des Moines now uses 515 and 641: same neighborhoods, ten-digit dialing, and every one of them covered by its own guide above.

How Iowa got its codes

How Iowa’s codes work

How Iowa splits

Cedar Rapids runs on 319, Des Moines on 515, and Davenport on 563. The other two territories each carry a single code.

One code per territory

No overlays are in service in Iowa: each color on the map carries exactly one code, so the code on the chip is the whole story.

Reading the map

Each color is one code territory and each chip is that territory’s code. Clicking any region opens its full guide.
