Your Area Code is now 715 or 534.

Overlay for 715 Area Code - New Additional Area Code 534. The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin approved an overlay of the 715 area code. An overlay is the addition of another area code to the same geographic region as an existing area code. The new additional area code is 534. An overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code.

The new dialing procedure requires callers to dial the 3-digit area code + the 7-digit local number. Effective October 17, 2009 the 10-digit permissive local dialing is available for use. Start of mandatory 10-digit dialing with only 7-digits will read a recording indicating that it is necessary to dial the area code + the 7-digit number and to hang up and dial again. Learn More...
