01 — Idaho at a Glance
Idaho, by the numbers.
Idaho received area code 208 in 1947, and it stayed the state's only code for roughly 70 years — one of the longest single-code runs in the country.
Idaho's small, slow-growing population let it avoid the splits that reshaped neighboring states during the postwar decades and the 1990s cellphone boom.
By the early 2000s, regulators projected 208's number pool would eventually run out as wireless use grew, but held off on any change as long as possible.
Idaho finally added a second code, an overlay, in 2017 — decades after most similarly sized states had already split, making it one of the last in the contiguous U.S. to need more than one code.
Did you know?
Idaho kept a single area code, 208, for the entire state for nearly 70 years — one of the longest unsplit runs of any of the original 1947 area codes in the contiguous United States.
