Frequently Asked Questions
The area code overlay for the 816 area code is 975.
Area code 816 is coming from the North American Numbering Plan(NANP) which covers Western Missouri.
816 area code is one of the original 86 area codes introduced in 1947. In 1947, Missouri was divided into two Numbering Plan Areas(NPAs) created by the North American Numbering Plan. Over time the population grew and telecommunications needs evolved which made the 816 area code geographically split multiple times. In 1951 area code 417 was created that served Southwestern Missouri. On April 10, 1997, Southwestern Bell raised concerns about the required additional area code due to the increase in cell phone usage and changes in the market brought about by the Telecommunications Act of 1996’s deregulation. So, another split occurred in 1997 creating the 660 area code that served North-central and West Missouri. Despite these splits, area code 816 was served to the Kansas City metropolitan area and surrounding region in Northwestern Missouri and Southwestern Missouri.
