Area code 726

About area code 726

NANPA lists 726 as an in-service geographic area code for Texas, first put into service on October 23, 2017. It is an overlay: 726 and 210 cover the same territory, so neighbors on the same street can have different area codes. It is in the Central time zone. The places with the most assigned exchanges include San Antonio.

Places served by 726

726 holds 0.70% of the 16,097 central office codes assigned in Texas, the 28th most of the state's 29 codes. 1 Census place could be matched to rate centers with 726 exchanges; the most populous is San Antonio (1.5 million). Each place page lists the exact prefixes and carriers for that town.

Ten-digit and seven-digit dialing in 726

According to NANPA's dialing-plan data, local calls within 726 are dialed as ten digits (area code plus number) and toll calls as 1 plus ten digits. Because local calls need the area code, business cards, signage and website copy should always show the full ten-digit number.

Who holds 726 exchanges

32 carriers hold the 112 central office codes assigned in 726. Onvoy, LLC - TX has the most, with 15 (13%). 112 of the codes (100%) are pooled, meaning the code holder shares blocks of 1,000 numbers with other carriers instead of using all 10,000 itself. The code holder is not necessarily the carrier serving a given number today, since numbers can be ported between providers.

Local calling areas in 726
