Find any 248- phone number in Michigan
The 248 area code is a telephone system that is exclusive to the state of Michigan in the United States. It is one of the many regional area codes of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). The code was first introduced in 1998, when the 810 and 734 area codes were split into two separate codes. The 248 area code mainly serves the northern half of the Metro Detroit area, including the cities of Southfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, and Novi.
The 248 area code is part of the NANP, which was set up by AT&T in 1947 in order to create an efficient numbering plan for the United States and its territories. Under the NANP, each area code consists of three digits, with the first digit representing the general region of the country that the area is located in. The 248 area code is made up of the number 2, which is the region that encompasses Michigan and the surrounding states, as well as parts of Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
