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.
