01 — Hawaii at a Glance
Hawaii, by the numbers.
Hawaii received area code 808 in 1957, two years before statehood, once submarine cable and microwave links joined the islands to the mainland network.
808 was designed to cover the entire archipelago as one numbering area, and its small, contained population meant it never needed a split or overlay.
The only dialing change came in 2021: mandatory 10-digit local dialing, adopted to avoid conflicts with the new nationwide 988 crisis line.
