Find any 316- phone number in Kansas
The 316 area code is a state-level phone number assignment system in the United States. It is designated for use within the state of Kansas. The 316 code is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), which is a system of telephone numbering and area codes that is administered by the Federal Communications Commission. The 316 area code was created in 1997 as a split from the 316/620 area code in the western part of the state. The 316 area code covers the Wichita metropolitan area and most of the central and southeastern section of Kansas.
The NANP system consists of distinct area codes that are assigned to specific geographic areas throughout the U.S. and Canada. This helps to identify the geographic region and is used by telecommunications providers in order to ensure that calls, texts, and other services are properly routed. NANP area codes, like the 316 code in Kansas, are also used to identify and separate service providers in the same region. This system helps to ensure that calls within a given geographical area are placed to the right telephone provider.
