Area codes 704 and 980

Area codes of North Carolina.

Area code 704 covers Metropolitan Charlotte, in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, and also the cities of Gastonia, and Concord. Area code 980, created as an overlay in 2001, also covers the same area. The South Carolina side of the Charlotte metropolitan area is part of area code 803.

704 is one of the original 86 Numbering Plan Areas assigned in 1947. At that time it covered the entire state of North Carolina. In 1954, Winston-Salem and points east were split off to create area code 919. In 1998, the Foothills and Blue Ridge were split off to create area code 828.

Because of the overlay of the 980 area code, the 704/980 area requires all callers to use ten-digit dialing when making local calls (example: 704-555-5309).
