Type an area code or paste a phone number. See where it is, its time zone and the time there right now.
Data from NANPA, the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, file dated October 4, 2026.
The place is the state, province or country the code is assigned to. An area code covers a region, not a single city, and a big state like California or Texas has dozens of them.
The local time is the clock in that area right now, and how far ahead of or behind your own clock it is. That is the number to check before you call or text a lead from another part of the country.
Two or more time zones means the area code crosses a time zone line. 23 codes do, such as 270 in Kentucky (Eastern and Central) and 208 in Idaho (Mountain and Pacific). The lookup shows the time in each zone. When it matters, check the city or ZIP code the lead gave you.
Shares its area with lists overlay codes. When a region runs low on numbers, a new code is laid over the same map instead of splitting it, so a 212 and a 917 number can be next-door neighbors in Manhattan.
Toll-free and other non-geographic codes such as 800, 888 or 900 are not tied to a place, so the lookup says so instead of guessing a location.
People keep their mobile number when they move. Someone with a 312 Chicago number may live in Denver now, and their phone shows Denver time. So treat the area code as a first guess. If your form asks for a city, state or ZIP code, that answer beats the area code for timing a call.
NANPA, the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, publishes every area code in its public NPA report. This lookup uses the file dated October 4, 2026. It holds 454 area codes in service that belong to a place: 378 in the United States and its territories, 55 in Canada and 21 in Bermuda and the Caribbean. It also lists 32 codes that are not tied to a place, such as toll-free 800, and 5 codes that are assigned but not in service yet.
NANPA records the time zone or zones for each area code. We match each one to a standard time zone ID, for example America/Phoenix for Arizona, which stays on Mountain Standard Time all year. Your browser then works out the current time and whether daylight saving time applies from its own time zone database, so the clock is right on the day you look.
Two limits to know. NANPA lists the main zones for each code, and a few small areas keep a different clock: NANPA notes that West Wendover, in the 775 area of Nevada, uses Mountain Time while the rest of the code uses Pacific. And as above, a mobile number can travel with its owner. We refresh the data from NANPA when new area codes go into service.
The lookup runs in your browser. Only the 3-digit area code is added to the page address, so you can share a lookup without sharing a phone number.
A team in New York gets a web lead at 7:40 PM on an October evening. The number is (208) 555-0199. Area code 208 covers all of Idaho, which spans two time zones, so the lookup shows 5:40 PM on Mountain Time (Boise) and 4:40 PM on Pacific Time (the northern panhandle). Either way, the lead filled in the form a minute ago at the end of their workday. Call now.
The same team gets a lead from (907) 555-0123 at 9:00 AM. Area code 907 is Alaska, where it is 5:00 AM. That call waits a few hours, or goes out as a short text the lead can answer when they wake up.
Two things decide whether a new lead picks up: how fast you call, and whether they recognize the number. Our page on speed to lead covers the first. For the second, Callingly’s local presence calls each lead from the number on your account whose area code is closest to theirs. For more ways to reach leads at the right hour, see 5 strategies to improve your team’s contact rate, or how to handle leads that come in after hours.
The area code is the first 3 digits of a 10-digit North American phone number, after the 1 country code if there is one. Type or paste the number in the lookup above and it shows the state, province or country the code belongs to, its time zone and the local time there.
Not always. People keep their mobile number when they move, so the area code shows where the number was first issued. Use it as a first guess for timing, and trust the address or ZIP code on the form when there is one.
In NANPA's list, 23 area codes cross a time zone line. Most are in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Michigan, the Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Idaho and Oregon. The lookup shows the local time in each zone for those codes.
800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888 are toll-free codes. They use the same 3-digit slot as an area code, but they are not tied to a place, so there is no location or local time to show.
NANPA's list from October 4, 2026 has 454 area codes in service that belong to a place: 378 in the United States and its territories, 55 in Canada and 21 in Bermuda and the Caribbean. New codes are added several times a year when a region runs out of numbers.
