Area code 719

Area code 719 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the U.S. state of Colorado.

The numbering plan area (NPA) includes Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Monument, Leadville, Alamosa, Monte Vista, the San Luis Valley, Cañon City, Trinidad, Rocky Ford, La Junta, Walsenburg and southeastern Colorado.

[2] While 303 had been Colorado's sole area code for 40 years, the state's explosive growth in the second half of the 20th century made it apparent that the state would need another area code.

In 2020, 988 was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which created a conflict for exchanges that permit seven-digit dialing.

This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021.
