Wisconsin area codes

Wisconsin has 8 active geographic area codes in this directory: 262, 274, 353, 414, 534, 608, 715 and 920.

Start with the first three digits after +1 on the number you want to check. The codes in this directory are associated with places including Waukesha, Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, and Eau Claire. The listed places are examples, not a complete map of each code’s boundaries.

NANPA groups these codes in shared numbering complexes: 274 / 920; 353 / 608; 534 / 715. Members can serve overlapping areas; being in the same complex does not necessarily mean identical geographic boundaries.

Open the individual area code to check its local dialing rule. For a phone lookup, enter +1 followed by the three-digit area code and the seven-digit number. A state or area code alone is not enough to look up a particular number.

No. An area code describes a number’s assigned region. People can keep numbers after moving, use them while traveling, or place internet-based calls. Caller ID can also be spoofed, so the code does not confirm the caller’s location or identity.
