The area code 541 is located in Bend, Oregon.
Area code 541 serves Bend, Oregon, and most of the state outside the Portland metro area, stretching across Central, Southern, Eastern, and much of the Oregon Coast. It was established in 1995 as a split from 503, giving fast-growing regions like Bend their own number pool. In 2010, the 458 overlay was added, so 10‑digit dialing is required across the region. This wide coverage ties together high desert towns, university cities, coastal ports, and mountain communities under one Oregon area code.
Major cities and communities in 541 include:
From Bend’s outdoor playground at Mount Bachelor and the Deschutes National Forest to iconic sites like Crater Lake National Park, Smith Rock State Park, the Painted Hills (John Day Fossil Beds), and the Oregon Dunes, 541 covers many of Oregon’s best-known landmarks. Eugene hosts the University of Oregon, while Oregon State University anchors Corvallis—both within 541. Most of the area uses Pacific Time, though a small section near the Idaho border observes Mountain Time. If you see a 541 phone number, it likely originates somewhere in Oregon outside Portland.
For calling, expect 10‑digit dialing across the 541/458 overlay; new numbers may be assigned either code. The area code supports both landline and mobile phone numbers across urban, rural, and resort towns. Its reach reflects Oregon’s diversity—from coastal harbors to high desert trails—all connected through one of the state’s primary geographic area codes.
