Las Vegas Gets new Digits -Area Code 725

Dial 725! 10-digit dialing is required starting Saturday May 3rd.

Get ready, Las Vegas is getting an additional area code whether you like it on not.

Starting June 3, all new phone customers will get numbers with the new code. If you already have a 702 number, you get to keep it.

On May 3, you will have to start dialing the area code first when making any local calls so update your devices now or prepare for lots of annoying automated responses.
Did you know This is Nevada’s third area code.

Prior to 1999, the entire state had 702, but population growth in Southern Nevada meant a 775 area code was approved for everything outside of Clark County.

The change is because of population growth across the Valley. This change will affect all Clark County residents including Boulder City, Henderson, Las Vegas, Laughlin, Mesquite, Moapa Valley and North Las Vegas. Emergency and information numbers like 911 and 411 will remain the same.

How do you feel about his new change?

Only time will tell…but the new code is here to stay.
