The area code 380 is located in Columbus, Ohio.
Area code 380 serves central Ohio as an overlay for the long-standing 614 in and around Columbus, Ohio. It covers most of Franklin County and nearby communities, including major neighborhoods and suburbs tied to the state capital. The overlay launched in 2016 to add new phone numbers without changing existing 614 numbers, reflecting steady growth in the Columbus metro. This region includes key landmarks like The Ohio State University, the Ohio Statehouse, John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH), and Downtown’s Short North and Arena District.
Major communities in the 380/614 overlay include:
Today, new 380 phone numbers are assigned as 614 reaches capacity, but all numbers work the same across the overlay. The area uses Eastern Time (ET) and requires 10-digit dialing for local calls. “With an overlay, you must dial the area code and the seven-digit phone number for all local calls.” — Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Interesting trivia: 614 is one of Ohio’s original area codes from 1947, and 380 keeps the region connected while Columbus continues to grow as the state’s political, educational, and business hub.
