Find any 832- phone number in Texas
The 832 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan, which is used to assign telephone numbers throughout the United States and Canada. The 832 area code was created in the summer of 1999 to provide additional numbers to the Houston, Texas area. It serves the majority of the Greater Houston area and a few outlying suburbs, including Katy, Friendswood, and Pearland. It covers an area of about 157,000 square miles, with a population of more than 7.7 million people.
The North American Numbering Plan is a system of assigning telephone numbers that is managed by both the United States’ Federal Communications Commission and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. The plan divides the territories of the two countries into areas, each of which is assigned a three-digit area code. The prefix 832 is one of the area codes designated to cover only a part of a state, which is why it does not encompass the entire state of Texas. The plan is designed to meet the telecommunication needs and requirements of the countries it covers. It is also designed to be geographically balanced, so the local calling areas are established to keep phone costs to customers as low as possible.
