Find any 682- phone number in Texas
The 682 area code is part of the telephone numbering plan in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). It is located in the state of Texas and was created in 1999 when it split from the 817 area code. It serves the southwestern part of the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area, including the cities of Arlington, Azle, Burleson, Eulbur, Flower Mound, Granbury, Grapevine, Hurst, Mansfield, and Fort Worth.
The NANP is a system that designates area codes across the US, Canada, and some parts of the Caribbean. It assigns a unique three-digit code to each geographic area served by a call center. The numbering plan assigns area codes based on geographic regions, and each region can only have one area code. This makes it easier for people to dial phone numbers without having to keep track of the area code of a particular location. The plan also groups similar numbers together, so that two-letter exchanges, such as “TO”, “WA”, and “WI”, are all assigned an overlapping area code that can be dialed from any region. The plan also assigns area codes based on population and density of population, so that larger urban areas may have more than one area code.
