Find any 502- phone number in Kentucky
The 502 area code is used to designate geographical regions in the state of Kentucky. It is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), which is a system of area codes used by the United States and various other countries throughout the world. This area code was put in place in 1947 and covers the city of Louisville and the surrounding areas. It formerly also covered the entire state of Kentucky until a 2004 split to form the 270 area code. Within the 502 area, many exchanges are overlaid into other area codes, including the 859 and 606 codes.
The 502 area code is a key component of the North American Numbering Plan and provides an orderly way for phone companies to assign phone numbers to their customers. It helps cellular and landline customers identify the location from which a phone call is made. It is seven digits long and starts with the number 5. This can be tricky since a few exchanges in the 270 area code also start with 5. As with all phone numbers under the NANP, the number can be dialed in ten digits with the area code included.
