Find any 786- phone number in Florida
The 786 area code is a geographic area code of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). This area code covers the Greater Miami, Florida area, which includes Miami-Dade County and most of Monroe County. The area code 786 was split off from the 305 area code in 1998 and went into effect in 1999. The 305 area was exhausted due to the influx of population and explosive economic and technological growth in the Miami area.
The NANP is a system for assigning telephone numbers for communication within a geographical region of the United States and its territories. NANP numbers are typically written in the format of NPA-NXX-XXXX and follow a consistent numbering format across the United States, Canada, and 16 other participating countries. Each geographic area code has a central switching office that houses a database of assigned numbers and the endpoints that connect those numbers. There are thousands of these area codes currently in use that designate various cities, geographically defined areas, and services.
