The area code 682 is located in Arlington, Texas.
Area code 682 serves Arlington, Texas, and the western side of the Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex. It works as an overlay of 817, covering the same communities across Tarrant County and nearby areas, so both codes appear side by side on local phone numbers. Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth and anchors a major hub for sports, entertainment, and higher education in North Central Texas. This numbering plan area helps route residential, business, and mobile phone lines across a fast‑growing region.
Major cities and communities in the 682/817 service area include:
Landmarks within the 682 footprint include AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas, and the University of Texas at Arlington; communities around DFW International Airport, such as Grapevine, also use 682/817 numbers. The area follows key corridors like I‑20, I‑30, and SH 360, where many neighborhoods and businesses maintain local phone service tied to these codes. This broad coverage makes area code 682 highly visible across daily life, from game days to campus events and corporate offices.
Introduced in 2000, area code 682 was added to relieve number demand while keeping existing 817 numbers in place. Because it is an overlay, new lines may receive a 682 number, while older lines can remain 817, and both serve the exact same geography. Local calls use 10‑digit dialing across the overlay region. This setup supports steady growth in Arlington and the wider Fort Worth area without changing established phone numbers.
