01 — Nebraska at a Glance
Nebraska, by the numbers.
Area code 402 covered the entire state of Nebraska when the numbering plan launched in 1947.
In 1954, 308 split off to cover the western and central plains, leaving 402 for the east, including Lincoln and Omaha.
Wireless growth in the 1990s and 2000s pressured the fast-growing Omaha-Lincoln corridor, so regulators added an overlay, 531, authorized in 2011.
Today 308 still covers western Nebraska, while 402 and 531 share the more densely populated east.
Did you know?
Nebraska's westernmost area code, 308, covers roughly two-thirds of the state's land area but only a small fraction of its population, since the Omaha-Lincoln corridor packed into the 402/531 region holds the majority of Nebraskans.
