North Dakota Phone Numbers and Area Codes

Area code 701 is the sole area code serving the entire state of North Dakota. Established in 1947 as one of the original area codes in North America, it covers both the urban centers and rural areas of the state. Despite the growth in telecommunication services and the increase in demand for phone numbers, North Dakota's low population density has allowed area code 701 to remain the only area code in the state. This unique situation makes North Dakota one of the few states in the U.S. to have a single area code covering its entire territory.
North Dakota has the highest share of adults who primarily use a wireless phone among Plains states at 18.1%. Data from 2023 shows that 72.8% of adults in North Dakota rely solely on mobile phones, up from 61.2% in 2019—a gain of over 11 percentage points in four years. North Dakota residents who primarily use a wireless phone make up 18.1%, while 3.0% use both mobile and landline. Those who mainly rely on landlines and those who only use landlines have declined to 2.0% and 2.4% respectively. The share of adults lacking phone access stands at 1.7%. North Dakota's dual-user segment dropped sharply from 12.7% in 2019 to 3.0% in 2023, reflecting a rapid move toward exclusive mobile use.
