Numbering plan areas and area codes of Texas with numbering plan area 806 highlighted.
Area code 806 is a telephone
area code in the
North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the
U.S. state of
Texas in the
Panhandle and
South Plains , including the cities of
Amarillo and
Lubbock . It was created in 1957 in a
flash-cut from
numbering plan area (NPA) 915 , the north-western corner of the state, but also incorporated a small portion of the region of
area code 817 to the east.
[1]
Prior to October 2021, area code 806 had telephone numbers assigned for the
central office code 988. In 2020, 988 was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline , which created a conflict for exchanges that permit
seven-digit dialing . This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to
ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021.
