Find any 956- phone number in Texas

The 956 area code is an NANP North American Numbering Plan area code that serves the lower Rio Grande region of South Texas, including Brownsville, McAllen, and Laredo. It was created in 1997 and overlaid on the pre-existing 409 and 210 area codes, allowing customers to keep their existing telephone numbers but adding the area code digits from both the original and the ‘overlaid’ area code.

The NANP is the public telephone numbering system used for dialing local, regional, and long distance calls in the United States and other countries that participate in the North American Numbering Plan. NANP area code numbers are assigned to geographical locations, and are further divided into effective local calling areas. The 956 area code is one of many area codes that manage the burden of phone number allocation in the NANP and provides a valuable service to residents and businesses in the affected area.
