Data: NANPA public reports, current as of July 28, 2026.

The 385 area code covers Salt Lake City, Utah, Mountain time zone, and dates back to March 29, 2009. Together with 801 it forms the 385/801 overlay. Because of number portability and VoIP, the area code tells you where the number was issued, not where the caller is right now.

NANPA lists 487 active NXX prefixes in 385, assigned to 40 carriers. 487 of those prefixes are pooled — shared between carriers in thousands-number blocks. The code spans 20 rate centers (billing localities).

Official projections put exhaust for the 385/801 complex at 3Q 2035.

The dialing plan is 10D for home-NPA local calls and 10D across codes.

If a 385 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.

Its parent code is 801, which it left in 2009.

FAQ

Where is a 385 number from?

385 is assigned to Salt Lake City and surrounding areas of Utah in the Mountain time zone. The three digits after the area code (the prefix) narrow it down to a rate center.

Is 385 a toll-free number?

No. 385 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 801 and 385 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 385/801 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.

Will 385 run out of numbers?

NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 3Q 2035 — decades of capacity remain.

Why am I getting spam calls from 385 numbers?

Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 385 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.
