682 is the area code for Arlington, Texas, in service since October 7, 2000, Central time. It is part of the 682/817 overlay complex — these codes share the same territory. Note that porting and VoIP mean a 682 number can be used from anywhere — the code marks where the number was assigned.

If a 682 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.
Dialing: 10D locally, 10D to other codes.
NANPA projects numbering capacity for the 682/817 complex to exhaust in 2Q 2041.

FAQ
Where is a 682 number from?
682 is assigned to Arlington and surrounding areas of Texas in the Central time zone. The three digits after the area code (the prefix) narrow it down to a rate center.
Is 682 a toll-free number?
No. 682 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 817 and 682 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 682/817 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.
Will 682 run out of numbers?
NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 2Q 2041 — decades of capacity remain.
