Find any 270- phone number in Kentucky
The 270 area code is the telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the US State of Kentucky. It went into service on July 1, 1999, becoming Kentucky's fourth area code. It was created from a split of the state's original area code of 502, which was overlaid with an additional area code of 859 in 1999.
NANP is the public telephone numbering system used in the United States, Canada, parts of the Caribbean, and some American dependencies. It is administered by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, a private, non-profit corporation established by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. Each NANP area code consists of a three-digit code, such as 270, and a seven-digit phone number. With standardized numbering, customers have access to easier and more efficient dialing with seven-digit local calls and toll-free dialing throughout the NANP area.
