Area code updates for North America

Most people now use wireless and other connected devices, so some areas are running out of phone numbers. To provide more numbers, some areas are adding new area codes. This change won’t affect the price of phone calls placed over the AT&T network.

FYI:

• Calling 911 and calls to directory assistance aren’t affected by the updates. If 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711, or 811 are available in your community, you can still dial three digits.
• Choosing a local number for your business? See every U.S. area code and the communities it serves in the AT&T Area Code Directory.
• For industry info and more details on area code relief planning, go to the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA) website or npanxxsource.com/area-codes.htm.

Calling toll free and 900 numbers

Toll-free numbers begin with one of the following three-digit area codes. Charges to these toll-free numbers are almost always paid by the party being called.

• 800
• 844
• 855
• 866
• 877

The cost of calling a 900 number varies by service provider. Check the rate before you call.
