Find any 715- phone number in Wisconsin

The 715 area code is the telephone numbering plan code for the north-central area of the US state of Wisconsin. This area consists of the cities of Eau Claire, Wausau, Merrill, Hayward, Rhinelander, Stevens Point, Rice Lake, and Tomahawk. The 715 area code was originally assigned in 1947 as part of the North American Numbering Plan, a set of three-digit area codes used to designate geographical areas related to telephone services.

The North American Numbering Plan was established in 1947 as a numbering scheme for telephone networks across the United States, Canada, and other countries in the North America region. Every area code is assigned to a particular geographic region, and all the numbers within that area are designated with the same three-digit area code. The 715 area code is divided into smaller geographic regions that are further identified by an additional four-digit prefix code and nine-digit local number. New area codes may be created if a geographic area runs out of telephone numbers, or an existing code can be split if a region’s population grows too large.
