Find any 336- phone number in North Carolina
The 336 area code is an area code that serves residents in the westernmost part of North Carolina. It was overlaid onto the existing areas codes in North Carolina, such as the 252, 910 and 704 areas, in 1998. The 336 area code covers Winston-Salem, Greensboro and the surrounding North Carolina cities.
The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) assigns numerical telephone area codes to locations across North America, which are often used to identify a geographical region. The NANP is administered by the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA). As areas become more densely populated, additional area codes can be split off from the existing one, or an overlay can be added - such as in the 336 area code case. This allows the NANP to provide enough of a pool of telephone numbers for the increased demand in the area.
