Area code 269
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area code 269 is the telephone area code serving the southwest portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Communities using 269 include Allegan, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Portage, Otsego, Plainwell, St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, Marshall, Niles, Three Rivers, Sturgis, South Haven, and Bridgman.
269 was created in a July 2002 split of area code 616. The 269 area covers roughly the lower third of 616 before the split. Verizon and AT&T are the predominant local telephone carriers.
