The United States uses over 275 area codes which are assigned to specific geographic areas and nine other area codes that are not
assigned to a geographic area. A few states have only one area code such as Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming. The states
using the most area codes are Texas which is currently using 24 area codes, California 30 area codes, Florida 17 area codes, and New York 15 area codes. Although area codes are not assigned based upon population the
locations with greater populations have an increased demand for area codes. The ten non-geographic area codes utilized in the United States are 456, 500, 700, 710, 800, 855, 866, 877, 888 and 900. |
