Find any 327- phone number in Arkansas
The 327 area code is an area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). This area code is designated for the state of Arkansas and includes several cities, including Little Rock, Bentonville, and Fayetteville. The system of assigning numbers to geographies began in October 1947, represented the first step toward implementing the North American Numbering Plan. The 327 area code is part of the NANP, which consists of ten digits (e.g. 1-XYZ-ABC-DEF) used for numbering telephone network devices and addresses. The first three digits, 1-327 in this case, indicate geographic locations.
NANP codes are divided into “numbering plan areas” (NPAs) that are basically a geographic division of NPA codes. Each NPA is given a three-digit code and a state an area code (e.g., AR code is the state abbreviation for Arkansas). Arkansas currently has two NPA codes, 501 and 479, but the 327 area code is the third most-used area code for the state. The NPA code for Arkansas has been in use since May 2004, and serves cities such as Cabot, Conway, Fort Smith, and Jacksonville, as well as many communities in between.
