Area Code 956

Area code indicates geographical boundary of particular area within the country. Each area code contains so many telephone exchanges.  Area code 956 is one of the North American Area Codes serving the South Texas Region of the State of Texas ? United States. The particular code was created on 25th May 1997.

Texas is West South Central State which is the division of United States and is composed of following four subdivisions:

  •     Arkansas
  •     Louisiana
  •     Oklahoma
  •     Texas

Area code 210 was split off in 1997 when it was running out of the available numbers because of the ever increasing demands for telephone lines. As a result new code 956 was introduced in South Texas.

Areas are divided into further smaller areas when they get exhausted and start running out of available phone numbers. Newly created areas are assigned with new and unique codes. Codes are used to differentiate areas ? this is why codes are never repeated and areas are always assigned with new and different code. This is the smartest way of providing the telephone services to customers more efficiently and resourcefully.

There are total four area codes which are collectively serving the area of South Texas.

  •     Code 361 (created in 1999)
  •     Code 956 (created in 1997)
  •     Code 210 (created in 1992)
  •     Code 830 (created in 1997)
