Why businesses choose a Michigan virtual number
A local Michigan number shows callers which part of the state you serve.
313 came first, in 1947
313 was Michigan's original area code, assigned in 1947. The newest, 947, arrived in 2002. Each of the 12 codes below maps to its own part of the state, so the code you pick shows which region you serve.
Michigan, by the numbers.
Michigan's 1947 map had three area codes: 313 for Detroit and the southeast, 517 for Lansing and central Michigan, and 616 for the western Lower Peninsula, which then included the Upper Peninsula.
In 1961, the Upper Peninsula split off with its own code, 906.
Detroit's suburbs split repeatedly from the 1990s on: 810 from 313 in 1993, then 248 (Oakland County) and 734 (Ann Arbor) in 1997, and Macomb County's 586 in 2001.
On the west side, 616 split twice in 1999 into 231 (northern Lower Peninsula) and 269 (Kalamazoo, Battle Creek). The map was finished in 2002, when 989 split from 517 and 947 overlaid 248.
Area code 906, which covers the entire Upper Peninsula, is one of the largest area codes by geographic size in the country despite serving one of Michigan's smallest populations.
