FAQ
Where is a 364 number from?
364 is assigned to Bowling Green and surrounding areas of Kentucky in the Eastern and Central time zone. The three digits after the area code (the prefix) narrow it down to a rate center.
Is 364 a toll-free number?
No. 364 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 270 and 364 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 270/364 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.
Will 364 run out of numbers?
NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 3Q 2109 — decades of capacity remain.
Why am I getting spam calls from 364 numbers?
Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 364 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.
