Next, let’s look at why you might need a 832 area code.

Where is area code 832?

The (832) area code serves not only Houston, but also surrounding cities in Texas like:

  • Atascocita
  • Baytown
  • League City
  • Missouri City
  • Pasadena
  • Pearland
  • Sugar Land
  • The Woodlands

Located in the Central time zone, it’s an overlay for the much beloved area code 713 (which unfortunately, has run out of numbers) and serves the same area. The 832 prefix also covers the same area as the 346 area code.

Why your business needs a Houston 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 having to rent or lease a physical location there. With a 832 area code number for Houston, for instance, you can set up a virtual branch out of counties like Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Liberty, Montgomery, San Jacinto, and Waller—without having to rent or buy a physical office space.

And if you're running a marketing campaign that's trying to get potential customers to dial your business number, you can increase the chances of them calling if you make it a local number. Typically, people are 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 Houston, TX area code on the caller ID.

Houston is the biggest city in Texas by population, with over 2 million people—with good job growth rates and better-than-average wages. At that size, you've got a lot of potential customers. But there are other reasons why a Houston area code can be very useful. It's home to professional sports teams like the Houston Rockets NBA team and the Houston Astros MLB team, and the state has a strong economy. (There are a whopping 25 international banks in the area, which tells you a little about how financially active the businesses and residents here are.)
