Area Code 940

Area code 940 serves the State of Texas - particularly the region of Northwest Texas. Texas is one of the West South Central States of United States of America. Major areas served by the particular code are WILBARGER and Denton areas.

The code 940 was created on 7th July 1997 as a result in split of area code 817. Area Code 817 was split off because of the exhausted demands for telephone lines. It was the time when this area was running out of available phone numbers. Adding new area code to existing area made it possible to provide the customers with telephone lines without any hurdle.

Nowadays new area codes are established fast because ever-increasing demands for telephone connections just make the area congested. Demands for telephone connections are growing significantly and so no other option is left to make the number unique by just adding a three digit area code. Each region is assigned with unique code so that to discard any chance for the phone number being repeated.

The region of Northwest Texas is served by two area codes:

• Area Code 325
• Area Code 940

The standard time zone followed by these areas is Central Time Zone. The 940 area code is surrounded from four sides by area codes as:

• West: 806
