North Dakota area code questions
Which area code serves North Dakota?
701 covers the entire state.
What do I do to get a North Dakota number?
You can get a 701 number from any provider that assigns local numbers. Compare what each provider charges in year one.
For a local call in North Dakota, do I dial the area code?
No. A local call inside 701 uses 7-digit dialling, and a long-distance call uses 1 + 10-digit dialling. Among the 378 US area codes now in service, only 54 still allow 7-digit local calls. When you call from abroad, start with +1 701.
