Random Area Code Generator
Pick one or more random area codes from the United States or Canada, with the city, state and time zone for each.
Generate Area Codes
Choose a region and how many codes you want. No code is repeated in one draw.
Area Code Lookup Tool
Type a 3-digit area code, a full phone number, or a city or state.
How it works
The generator draws from our list of more than 420 geographic area codes in the United States, US territories and Canada. Each result shows the main city, the state or province, other cities in the same area and the time zone. If we have a full guide for that code, a link appears under it.
What is it useful for?
- Choosing sample area codes for tests, demos and spreadsheets
- Geography and trivia quizzes: guess the city before you read the answer
- Picking a region at random for a sales or research exercise
- Learning which area codes belong to which state
Are toll-free codes included?
No. The seven toll-free prefixes (800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888) are not tied to a place, so they are left out of the draw. You can still look them up with the area code lookup tool on this page.
