Area code 775

While it appears to be rural, more than 80 percent of its numbers are located in the far western portion around Reno and Carson City.

Prior to the creation of 775, area code 702 had served all of Nevada for 51 years.

However, the proliferation of cell phones, pagers, and fax machines, particularly in Las Vegas, Reno, and Carson City, hastened the need for the expansion of Nevada's number pool.

Under the most recent projections, northern Nevada will not need another area code until late 2045.

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

Area code 458 and 541 Area codes 208 and 986 Area code 530 Area codes 442 and 760 Area code 435 Area code 928 Area codes 702 and 725 Area code 775
The red numbering plan area has area code 775; the blue area has area code 702/725, also in Nevada. All other area codes are in other states.
