Virginia area codes

Virginia has 10 area codes in service: 276, 434, 540, 571, 686, 703, 757, 804, 826 and 948.

8 of the 10 share their area with at least one other Virginia code through an overlay. The table shows which.
Newest: 686, in service since Feb 1, 2024.
Oldest: 703, in service since 1947.
A local call is usually dialed with 10 digits in 9 of Virginia's 10 codes, and with 7 digits in 434: the predominant pattern NANPA records for each code.
On the 07/30/2026 registry file, no new code is assigned to Virginia and no relief planning has begun for any of its codes.

This is public numbering-plan data from NANPA, reproduced as its registry records it. It is not ours, and an area code says where a number was assigned, not where the person holding it lives.

Every Virginia area code in the registry

In numeric order, as the NANPA registry file dated 07/30/2026 lists them. An overlay code serves the same area as the code it was laid over.

Two codes are shown as overlaid only where each code's own registry row lists the other. The registry's rows occasionally disagree, and where they do the pairing is left out rather than guessed. The dialing column is the predominant pattern NANPA records for a local call within the same code.
