The 380 area code is located in Ohio, USA, and serves the central region of the state, including the city of Columbus and the surrounding areas. It is an overlay code covering the same territory as the original area code 614, which was assigned to the southeastern quadrant of Ohio in 1947. The 380 area code was added to the region on February 27, 2016, to ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers. Customers within the existing 614 area code should be prepared for the introduction of the new 380 area code and should identify their telephone number as a 10-digit number (area code + seven-digit telephone number) when giving it to others.
