Kansas has a rich telecommunications history reflected in its area codes. As of 2023, the state primarily utilizes area codes 316, 620, 785, and 913, each covering distinct geographical regions. The original area code for Kansas was 913, established in 1947, encompassing the entire state. Over time, population growth and the increase in telephone service demand necessitated the introduction of additional area codes.
Area code 316, serving the Wichita area, was introduced in 1950. It is notable for being the first split from the original 913 code. The 620 area code was created in 2001 to cover southern and southwestern Kansas, while the 785 area code, established in 1997, includes the northern and western parts of the state.
As of the 2020 Census, Kansas had a population of approximately 2.9 million residents, contributing to a diverse set of telecommunications needs across urban and rural areas. The state’s varying geography, from cities like Kansas City and Wichita to expansive farmlands, influences telecommunications infrastructure and service availability.
Significantly, Kansas also observes 10-digit dialing as a standard practice, which has been prompted by the increasing demand for phone numbers. The introduction of telephone service and advances in technology have played a vital role in shaping Kansas's area code landscape, impacting both local residents and businesses.

Calling Kansas from another state in the United States is considered a long-distance call. Here’s how to make the call: First, dial the area code for Kansas. Each state, and sometimes specific cities within a state, has unique area codes. Then, enter the 7-digit phone number of the person or business you’re trying to reach. If you’re calling from a landline, check with your provider, as long-distance charges may apply. However, most mobile carriers in the U.S. offer nationwide calling without additional fees. Alternatively, you can use VoIP or internet-based calling apps, like Skype, Zoom, or WhatsApp, to bypass traditional long-distance charges. The number you want to reach should look like this: 1-(AreaCode)-111-2222.
When making calls within the United States, dialing +1 depends on several factors. On most modern mobile phones, carriers automatically recognize the country code when calling within the U.S., so dialing +1 is usually not required; you can simply enter the area code followed by the phone number, such as 213-555-1234. If you’re using a landline, dialing 1 (the U.S. country code) before the area code and phone number is often necessary for long-distance calls; for example, calling from one state to another may require dialing 1-213-555-1234. When calling the U.S. from another country, dialing +1 is necessary, so a call from abroad would be formatted as +1-213-555-1234. VoIP and internet-based calling platforms, like Skype and WhatsApp, generally handle country codes automatically, making it unnecessary to dial +1 manually for U.S. numbers.
