Our area codes include:

Area code 202 location: Where is it, and what areas does it cover?
Area code 202 serves Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital, and is one of the original area codes established in 1947 under the North American Numbering Plan. For decades, 202 was the only area code in the District, covering all neighborhoods, government offices, cultural landmarks, and residential areas. In 2021, area code 771 was introduced as an overlay to meet the increasing demand for phone numbers in the region.

The 202 area code is synonymous with politics, history, and national decision-making. It covers iconic sites such as the White House, U.S. Capitol, National Mall, Smithsonian museums, and the Supreme Court. Beyond its role as the federal government’s home base, D.C. is also a vibrant city with thriving arts, education, hospitality, and technology sectors.

Neighborhoods within the 202 area code range from the historic charm of Georgetown to the bustling business hub of Downtown D.C., the cultural richness of Adams Morgan, and the revitalized waterfront at The Wharf.

Whether you’re calling a congressional office, booking a hotel near the National Mall, or connecting with a local business, a 202 number signifies a direct connection to Washington, D.C.’s political, cultural, and economic heartbeat.

Area code 202 is bordered by Maryland’s 240/301 and Virginia’s 703/571, reflecting D.C.’s close integration with the surrounding metro area.

Area code 771 location: Where is it, and does it overlap with 202?
Area code 771 serves Washington, D.C. and functions as an overlay to the historic 202 area code. Officially introduced in 2021, 771 was created to provide additional phone number capacity for the District of Columbia, a city with growing residential, business, and mobile device demand. Both 771 and 202 cover the entirety of Washington, D.C., including government buildings, commercial districts, and residential neighborhoods.

As an overlay, 771 does not replace 202—existing numbers kept their original area code, while new lines in the District may receive 771. All local calls in D.C. now require 10-digit dialing.

Washington, D.C., the heart of the U.S. federal government, is home to iconic landmarks like the White House, U.S. Capitol, National Mall, Smithsonian museums, and Supreme Court. The city also boasts thriving arts, hospitality, education, and technology sectors, attracting millions of visitors and thousands of new residents each year.

From the historic charm of Georgetown to the nightlife of Adams Morgan and the revitalized The Wharf waterfront, the 771 area code connects you to the political, cultural, and economic center of the United States.

Area code 771 shares its borders with Maryland’s 240/301 and Virginia’s 703/571, linking D.C. seamlessly to its suburban metropolitan region.
