Area Code 726
Area codes 210 and 726 are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for San Antonio and most of its innermost suburbs in Bexar County in the U.S. state of Texas. The original area code, 210, was created in an area code split from area code 512 in 1992. After only a few years, the threat of number exhaustion forced a split in 1997. Most of the 210 territory outside of Bexar County became area code 830, which completely surrounded 210. Area code 726 was assigned to the same numbering plan area in an overlay complex activated in 2017 to alleviate the threat of exhaustion of central office codes that was expected by 2018. History Area code 210 was created on November 1, 1992, in a split from area code 512. The new numbering plan area included the San Antonio area, most of the Hill Country, and the Rio Grande Valley. Before 1992, 512 had served the entire south-central portion of Texas since the area code system was instituted by AT&T in 1947; 512 was th ...

Area Code 830
Area code 830 is the telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the Texas Hill Country and most of San Antonio's suburbs. It completely surrounds area codes 210 and 726, which serve most of the city of San Antonio along with its innermost suburbs. History The area code was created on July 7, 1997, in a split from numbering plan area 210. A few outer portions of the city moved to 830, making San Antonio one of the few cities split into multiple numbering plan area. This split occurred only five years after 210 split from 512. San Antonio's rapid growth and the proliferation of cell phones and pagers forced the entire suburban ring around San Antonio to change its numbers for the second time in a decade. Geographically, the area code serves the north-western portions of South Texas. Prior to October 2021, area code 830 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988. In 2020, ''988'' was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the ...
