Next, let’s look at why you might need a 972 area code.

Where is area code 972?

The (972) area code serves Dallas, Texas and surrounding areas, including part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Located in the Central time zone, it’s an overlay for area code 214 and serves the same area.

The 972 prefix was first put into service in 1996—and if you really want a phone number with this area code, you should get it soon because it's starting to run out of numbers! Due to the growing population in the area, the 469 area code was added in 1999 and in 2021, the 945 area code was also assigned to this region.

As well as Dallas itself, the area code 972 location includes the major cities of Plano, Garland, Irving, Mesquite, McKinney, Carrollton, Firisco and Richardson. It also covers major counties like Collin, Ellis, Rockwall, Denton, and Kaufman.

Why your business needs a Texas area code

Local numbers are a great way to make a small business seem bigger, or for larger enterprises to establish a local presence without real estate. With a 972 area code number for Texas, you can set up a virtual branch out of Dallas, Lewisville, or Allen without having to rent or buy a physical office space.

Running a marketing campaign that encourages customers to dial your business number? Make it a local one—they’re far more likely to call since they won't have to worry about long-distance charges. And when you call them, they’ll be more inclined to pick up the phone if it's a local Dallas TX area code in the caller ID.

Dallas is the ninth largest city in the US, with an estimated population of 1.3 million—that’s a lot of potential customers. But there are other reasons why a Dallas Texas area code is an asset. The state has a strong economy with lower-than-average unemployment, and this area is home to many large businesses, including Texas Instruments, Game Stop, 7-Eleven, Inc., Neiman Marcus, and others.
