An area code is the three digit code at the start of a North American phone number. It tells you where the number was originally issued, such as a city, a region, or a whole state or province.
The United States, Canada, and many Caribbean countries share the +1 country code and the same numbering plan, so an area code alone can tell you which country a number belongs to.
Area codes are assigned by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA). The details on this page come from NANPA’s official area code list.
