Find any 575- phone number in New Mexico
The 575 area code was established in late 2008, as a result of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) system. The NANP is a unified telephone numbering plan for the U.S. and its territories, along with several independent countries. This system was developed to make it easier for people to correspond with each other over telephone lines.
The 575 area code was created to serve the entire state of New Mexico, including areas not covered by the 505 area code. The 6th Congressional District, covering the bulk of southern New Mexico, is the only district served exclusively by the 575 area code. This area code is one of the few area codes in the United States that does not have an accompanying overlay. This means that, when phone numbers within the 575 area code are in demand, it will not create a new area code and will instead add a digit to all new phone numbers.
