Vermont area codes
One area code — 802 — covers all of Vermont. The state's numbering history begins in 1947 with 802. Most recent addition: 802, in service since 1947.
Coverage runs through 802 (Burlington); prefix counts in the table approximate each code's numbering footprint.
Every Vermont code keeps Eastern time.
Every Vermont community — Burlington, Rutland, White River Junction, Montpelier among the largest — shares the single 802 code, a simplicity most states lost to overlays years ago.
802 has served Burlington since 1947, carries 567 active prefixes across 141 rate centers, split among 46 carriers. 449 of its prefixes are pooled — shared between carriers in thousands-number blocks. It is the only area code serving Vermont. NANPA projects its capacity to last until 1Q 2070 — no relief needed for decades. Local dialing is ten digits.
Toll-free callers are a separate story: 800-family numbers carry no Vermont 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 Vermont, 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.
