Find any 320- phone number in Minnesota
The 320 area code belongs to the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and operates in the state of Minnesota. It is an overlay that was created to reduce the area in which the 218, 612, and 952 area codes operate in the state. In 2012, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved a plan to create a new area code, and the 320 area code came into effect on April 1, 2013.
In the North American Numbering Plan, area codes are divided into three-digit codes and represent a particular geographic area or group of states. The NANP is a joint venture between the US, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean to simplify telephone number dialing and to keep the area code system uniform across neighboring regions. Within the 320 area code, all phone numbers will have the same three-digit area code and seven-digit local phone number. This set up helps to reduce call costs and complications when dialing, and also allows for easy route mapping of calls.
