A local Arkansas number builds trust before the call connects — and keeps costs at zero.
Arkansas residents and businesses are significantly more likely to answer calls from a local area code than out-of-state or toll-free numbers. A local number is the first step to getting the call connected.
Arkansas used one statewide area code, 501, from 1947 through the mid-1990s — one of the longest single-code runs in the Lower 48.
In 1997, 870 split off to cover the rural south and east, leaving 501 focused on the Little Rock metro area.
In January 2002, the booming northwest corner — Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Bentonville — split off from 501 to become area code 479.
Although 870 was carved out in 1997 to serve Arkansas's most rural areas, its sheer geographic size means it now covers roughly 1.2 million of the state's 3 million residents — nearly as many as the other two codes combined.
