Area code lookup
All 417 North American area codes we track: every US state, Canada, US territories, and the Caribbean +1 codes that look domestic but bill as international. Type a code, a full number or a city.
US area codes by state
Canadian area codes by province
Toll-free, US territories and Caribbean codes
Caribbean codes are international numbers inside the +1 system. The FCC warns about one-ring scams that use codes like these so that you call back at international rates. See the FCC guide.
Questions
Does an area code tell me where the caller is?
Only where the number was first issued. People keep their numbers when they move, app numbers can be picked from any area code, and caller ID can be spoofed. Treat the area code as a clue, not a location.
Which area codes are scams?
No area code is a scam by itself, but some +1 codes belong to Caribbean countries (for example 809, 876, 473, 268, 284 and 649). They dial like US numbers but are billed internationally, which the FCC says one-ring scammers exploit. Look those up before you call back.
What is an overlay area code?
When a region runs out of numbers, a new code is added over the same area. Both codes serve the same places, and 10-digit dialing becomes required.
How do I find out who owns a number?
Enter the full number in a reverse phone lookup. The carrier, line type and location are free; the owner name unlocks when it is on record.
