330 area code — Akron, OH geographic
The 330 area code covers Akron, Ohio, Eastern time zone, and dates back to March 9, 1996. It is part of the 234/330 overlay complex — these codes share the same territory. Note that porting and VoIP mean a 330 number can be used from anywhere — the code marks where the number was assigned.
787 central-office prefixes are currently active in this code, spread across 35 code-holding carriers. Thousands-block pooling applies to 455 prefixes, so a single prefix can belong to several carriers. Its prefixes map to 117 distinct rate centers.
NANPA projects numbering capacity for the 234/330 complex to exhaust in 3Q 2042.
Dialing: 10D locally, 10D to other codes (carriers must provide permissive 1+10d dialing for foreign npa local calls in areas where they provide optional eas).
If a 330 call asks for money or personal data, treat the displayed number as unverified: hang up and reach the organization through its published number. Numbering data locates numbers, not callers.
330 was created from 216 in 1996. It has since spawned 234 (2000).

FAQ
Is 330 a toll-free number?
No. 330 is a geographic code; calls are billed like any other domestic call. Toll-free codes are 800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888.
Why do 234 and 330 cover the same place?
They are overlays: when a code runs low on numbers, a new code is added over the same territory instead of splitting it. The 234/330 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.
Will 330 run out of numbers?
NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 3Q 2042 — decades of capacity remain.
Why am I getting spam calls from 330 numbers?
Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 330 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.
