Area codes 757 and 948

The area colored red indicates the southeast corner of Virginia served by area code 757

The North American telephone area code 757 is a NANPA telephone area code covering the southeast corner of Virginia. It was established July 1, 1996, as a split from area code 804.

The region within its service area includes the following:

• The vast majority of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, encompassing:
  • The Virginia Peninsula, including Newport News, Hampton, and Williamsburg, and
  • South Hampton Roads, including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Franklin, and Suffolk.
• The Eastern Shore of Virginia, the Virginia portion of the Delmarva Peninsula.

Before the implementation of number pooling, 757 was projected to run out of numbers as early as 2002. A plan was developed that would have allowed an overlay in the Hampton Roads metro area leaving all of the Eastern Shore in 757; however, this plan was never implemented and the area code is not projected to reach full capacity until sometime in 2015.
