Find any 952- phone number in Minnesota

The 952 area code is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) which serves the Twin Cities metropolitan area in Minnesota. It was created in 2000, when the entire state of Minnesota was split into two numbering plan areas (NPAs): 612 in the west, and the new 952 in the east. This area code encompasses the cities of Burnsville, Eden Prairie, Apple Valley, Shakopee, Edina, Eagan, Bloomington, Minnetonka, and other western suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The North American Numbering Plan is a system of assigned telephone numbers regulated and maintained by the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA). Every telephone number in the United States and Canada is composed of a three-digit area code followed by a seven-digit local number. This system allows for easy call routing and identification. Since the number of available phone numbers is limited, area codes are divided into regions and established at a regional level. Each county or major metropolitan city has its own area code to make sure that phone numbers are issued properly. The 952 area code is a good example of the way NANP divides telephone numbers into distinct areas.
