Indiana area codes
8 area codes currently serve Indiana. The state's numbering history begins in 1947 with 219, 317, 812. Most recent addition: 463, in service since 2016.
Coverage runs through 317 (Indianapolis), 812 (Evansville), 765 (Lafayette), 219 (Gary), 260 (Fort Wayne), 574 (South Bend), 463 (Indianapolis), 930 (Bloomington); prefix counts in the table approximate each code's numbering footprint.
Overlay territory: 317/463, 812/930 — same geography, several codes, ten-digit local dialing.
Recent numbering history: 930 arrived in 2015, 463 arrived in 2016 — overlays added as existing codes approached exhaust.
Clocks differ across the state's codes (Eastern, Central) — worth checking before a callback.
Toll-free callers are a separate story: 800-family numbers carry no Indiana geography at all, so an 833 or 877 number is never "from" the state — it belongs to whichever business rents it, anywhere in the NANP.
A number in any of these codes was issued in Indiana, but portability means its owner may be anywhere today — the codes locate numbers, not people. To dig further, open a code's prefix or cities pages.
