📍 Geographic Location of Texas
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
Area code 682 is a geographic North American Numbering Plan Area (NPA) code serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex in the U.S. state of Texas. It is an overlay of area code 817, which was originally assigned to Fort Worth and surrounding Tarrant County. The 682/817 complex covers Tarrant County and parts of Parker, Johnson, and Ellis counties, including cities such as Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie (partial), Mansfield, and Burleson. The numbering plan area is under the jurisdiction of the Texas Public Utility Commission and administered by the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA).
Dialing Formats and Overlay Considerations
Because 682 is an overlay, all local calls within the 682/817 region require 10-digit dialing (area code + 7-digit number). This applies even for calls between numbers sharing the same area code. For example, to call a Fort Worth landline from within the metroplex, you must dial 682-XXX-XXXX or 817-XXX-XXXX. International callers from outside the United States should dial the country code, area code, and local number: +1-682-XXX-XXXX. No permissive dialing period is currently in effect; 10-digit dialing is mandatory.
Primary Cities and Communities
The 682 area code serves the western and northern sections of the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Key municipalities include Fort Worth (the fifth-largest city in Texas), Arlington (home to the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers), and suburban cities such as North Richland Hills, Hurst, Euless, Bedford, Grapevine (partial), and Keller. The region is a major economic hub with industries in aviation, logistics, healthcare, and technology.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the 682/817 area: dial the full 10-digit number (area code + number). For long-distance calls within the United States (outside the 682/817 region), dial 1 + area code + number. For international callers, dial your country's exit code, then 1, then 682, then the local number. Example: from the UK, dial 00-1-682-555-0123.
Number Portability and Availability
As an overlay, 682 was introduced in 2000 to provide additional numbering capacity. Existing 817 numbers were not changed, but new numbers may be assigned with either 817 or 682. Local number portability allows customers to retain their numbers when switching service providers within the same geographic area. The 682 area code is expected to remain in service for the foreseeable future, with no additional overlays currently planned.
