Find any 802- phone number in Vermont
The 802 area code is the telephone area code of Vermont, a small northeastern state located in the U.S. This area code covers a wide swath of the state including the cities of Burlington, Montpelier, and Rutland. It is one of the original 86 area codes that was put into place in 1947 as part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). This area code is used for all landline, wireless, and VoIP in the state, including toll-free numbers beginning with 800, 888, 877, and 866 prefixes.
The North American Numbering Plan is a system of assigning phone numbers that divides the U.S. and Canada into 85 regional areas, each with its own 3-digit area code. It provides a uniform numbering plan which allows for phone numbers to be sent across different states with more efficiency than the old manual systems. This uniform area code system has been in use since 1947 and is managed by the Federal Communications Commission. The area codes are not just a number but also an integral part of how we communicate.
