Find any 803- phone number in South Carolina

The 803 area code is a telephone area code in South Carolina. The area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), the numbering system that designates geographic regions for telephone area codes throughout the U.S., Canada, and several other countries. The 803 area code was one of the original 86 area codes established by NANP when the plan was implemented in 1947.

The 803 area code is an overlay with the 843 area code, which was added to the NANP in 1998. This means that the same geographic region is served by both area codes. Calls within the same area code do not require the area code; however, calls that cross area code boundaries do require the area code to be dialed. In order to accommodate the growing demand for new telephone numbers, the use of 803 and 843 area codes must still be included when dialing a local call.
