Houston Phone Numbers

What are the area codes of Houston?

These are Houston area codes you can choose from and the specific areas they serve:

Whatever Houston phone area code you get, make sure it extends to the audiences you’re most interested in. For example, if you expect to get more calls and sales from Fort Bend County, you need to get a number with the 346 prefix. If there is not a number with your chosen code, take advantage of code overlays and purchase another one.

The pricing page features the information about available Houston area codes and numbers. Before paying for your chosen plan, you can scroll through the options and pick the ones with optional coverage.

But why limit yourself to one number example when you can get several business lines from a single hub? That is just one of the perks of a digital phone system.

Time zone of a Houston phone area code

Phone numbers in Houston need to be coordinated with the Central Time Zone (CT). So, when you get a local phone number, keep in mind that CT is 6 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) / Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

The difference between Central Standard Time (CST) and Central Daylight Time (CDT) is one hour. During daylight savings, your phone number will receive personal and business calls according to the GMT-5 time zone.

More facts about Houston phone numbers

A local Houston phone number can have one of the four area codes. But a 713 will always be more special because it was the original.

The 713 code was introduced as part of the North American Numbering Plan in 1947, and it remained the only one until 1996. That was when the city split into two zones, and some suburbs received a new local area code, 281. In the 2000s, Houston was growing so fast that the city government had to introduce two additional codes.

Important points about Houston telephone numbers

The Houston area code and other parts of a phone number

Your Houston number will consist of 11 digits: a 1-digit country code, a 3-digit area code, and the 7-digit number itself. For a call to go through, you need to enter all three parts of a phone number.

Most numbers around the world and all numbers in North America have the same phone number composition. In fact, a mobile number is written in the same way as a landline, so there shouldn’t be any confusion for your business or the people wishing to call you.

Is a Houston local number or a toll-free number better for my business?

Whether you choose a toll-free or a local number depends on what your aims are. If you’d like to encourage your customers to call you, then a toll-free number might be best; this means your company will cover the cost of all incoming calls, taking the pressure off your clients. Here at MightyCall, we offer both options, letting you choose the one that best suits your needs.

Will people be able to tell that I’m not in the city even if I have a Houston area code number?

No, people will not be able to tell that you’re not in the city if you use a Houston prefix. When you use one of these codes with our virtual phone numbers, it will seem to your customer as if the call is coming from a number in Houston.
