Area codes 208 and 986

Map of Idaho area code in blue (with border states)

208 is the North American telephone area code for the entire state of Idaho.

Because of its small population, Idaho is one of the few remaining states with a single area code. In 2001 the Federal Communications Commission projected the 208 area code would be exhausted in 2003, but in 2002 the Idaho Public Utilities Commission was able to successfully delay a split by implementing number pooling in the Boise area. In 2007 number pooling was implemented statewide to stave off another projected exhaustion in 2010.

There are currently no plans to split or overlay the 208 area code.
