History of Area Code 380

Area code 380 was established on February 27, 2016. The North American Numbering Plan Administrator added it as an overlay for area code 614. That means 380 did not replace 614. Both area codes serve the same geographic area.

Area code 614 is one of the older Ohio area codes, and number demand in the Columbus region led to the new overlay. The growth of Columbus and its suburbs increased the need for more telephone numbers. Because 380 is an overlay, 10-digit dialing applies in the 614 and 380 service area.
