Find any 785- phone number in Kansas
The 785 area code is an area code of the North American Numbering Plan and is used in the state of Kansas. This area code was originally established in 1947, and served the entire state when it was first created. It was extended to some areas in Missouri in the 1950s. Currently, it covers most of the north-central and western parts of the state, while the 316 area code serves the south-central Kansas.
The North American Numbering Plan is a system of telephone numbers and area codes that was established to ensure efficient use of the available telephone numbers within the US and Canada. Area codes are used to differentiate locations within the numbering plan—each area code defines a geographic region and serves as the first three digits of a telephone number. The area code is followed by a three-digit prefix and a four-digit line number. The total length of a telephone number within the North American Numbering Plan system is therefore 10 digits. The 785 area code is one of the many area codes that are part of this numbering plan, and is used in the state of Kansas.
