Find any 540- phone number in Virginia

The 540 area code is one of the original 86 area codes assigned by the North American Numbering Plan. This plan, commonly known as NANP, is an integrated system of telephone area codes and prefixes that covers the United States, Canada, and some Caribbean countries. The area code 540 is primarily associated with the state of Virginia, and includes many of the state’s major cities and metropolitan areas. This includes Fairfax, Roanoke, Winchester, Harrisonburg, and Fredericksburg. Initially created in 1995, the 540 area code is currently one of Virginia’s three active area codes and was the only area code to span 3 different time zones. The area code 571 was created to serve the Washington, DC and northern Virginia area in 2000, while the 434 area code was created to serve southern Virginia in 2001. Despite the addition of these two area codes, 540 remains the most populous area code in Virginia and has only continued to grow in popularity over the years.
