As the capital city of Ohio and county seat of Franklin County, Columbus quickly became the hip place to visit. Although it is vastly known for being the home of the Ohio State Buckeyes, Columbus can offer much more than just a football-crazed college town in Ohio.

ABOUT COLUMBUS

Columbus currently ranks as the 14th largest city in the U.S. There are a few reasons for this drastic population expansion. Still, it is primarily the result of the booming tech industry and innovative art scene.

The Columbus area is home to:

• Battelle Memorial Institute, the world's largest private research and development foundation;
• Chemical Abstracts Service, the world's largest clearinghouse of chemical information;
• Ohio State University, one of the largest universities in the United States, boasts a student enrollment that routinely ranks among the highest in the country. Ohio State University is highly regarded for its high academic and athletic performance.

As of 2022, the Greater Columbus area is home to the headquarters of six corporations in the U.S. Fortune 500: Cardinal Health, American Electric Power, L Brands, Nationwide, Alliance Data, and Huntington Bancshares.
Without a doubt, Columbus is becoming a buzzing metropolis. With multiple growing industries, there is no time like the present to get a 380 area code for your business.

Columbus has a wide variety of museums and galleries. Its primary art museum is the Columbus Museum of Art, which operates its main location, and the Pizzuti Collection features contemporary art.

Several neighborhoods are within walking distance of Columbus' lively downtown. Admire the 19th-century brick buildings and browse shops lining the historic German Village and Brewery District streets.

WHERE IS AREA CODE 380 LOCATED?

Area code 380 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANP) for all or part of four counties in central Ohio, surrounding and including the state capital of Columbus. The 380 area code has been a relatively new addition and has been used as an area code for Ohio midlands since February 27, 2016. One of the original area codes assigned to Columbus, Ohio, in 1947 was the area code 614, while 380 became an area code overlay covering the same territory. Area code 380 services six counties in central Ohio and their major cities, including Franklin, Fairfield, Delaware, Madison, Union, and Pickaway.

Columbus is Ohio's capital city and is serviced by area code 380. With nearly 800,000 residents, Columbus is the largest city serviced, with a 380 area code.

In addition to Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, Grove City, Hilliard, Worthington, and Reynoldsburg also have a 380 area code with a general population of more than 35,000 each.
Other Ohio area codes include 216, 234, 330, 419, 440, 513, 567, 740, and 937 area numbers.

HOW CAN YOU GET A 380 AREA CODE?

Changing the area code of your phone number is easier than you might think. It will largely depend on your reasons for getting a new area code.

These are a few of your options for getting a phone number with a 380 area code:

1. Use the SLYNUMBER app and look up the three-digit 380 area code
2. Contact your phone service provider and request the 380 area code cell phone number
3. Buy a phone in Columbus with an area code 380 SIM card

USE THE SLYNUMBER APP

The easiest and least expensive way to get a new phone number with a new area code is to download the SLYNUMBER app. SLYNUMBER is available for Android and iPhone users, allowing you to choose an area code 380 phone number.
The best part about using SLYNUMBER is that you can avoid making changes to your monthly service plan. For only $2.99/month, you will get a second phone number with the new area code. All local calls and messages made to your new 380 area code number will appear on your phone the same way when you receive a call on your SIM card number.
It's the perfect solution for business owners who want to separate business phone number for work and private lives.

CONTACT YOUR PHONE SERVICE PROVIDER

Requesting to change your area code is much easier than you might think. Moving between states for work has become very common, and with that, updating phone numbers to their new area codes simplified. When you're ready to change your area code, contact your phone service provider and request an area code of 380.
Even though this process is simple, it does come with certain downsides. When you request an area code change from your service provider, you risk losing your current phone number and everything that comes with it, such as your contacts, voicemail inbox, blocked numbers, and more. If you decide to proceed with the change, be ready to make changes to the previously mentioned features of your previous phone number.

BUY A PHONE IN COLUMBUS

The location where the phone number is purchased will assign the phone number's area code. Traveling to Columbus and buying a new 380 phone number will give you a randomly generated seven-digit number. However, unless you are planning to move to Columbus, this is a trip you could easily avoid and still get an area code 380 number from the comfort of your own home.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A SECOND PHONE NUMBER?

Downloading the SLYNUMBER app is one of many options for getting a 380 area code, but it's the best. Being the cheapest and fastest way to add a second phone number, it comes with a few more benefits. These are just a couple of advantages of having a second phone number app:

1. A separate personal phone number to avoid business entanglements
2. The second phone number helps you stay organized
3. Knowing what it means when the phone rings

A SEPARATE PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER TO AVOID BUSINESS ENTANGLEMENTS

The first benefit is also the most obvious one. If you use your area code 380 phone number for business, you can keep your personal phone number for friends and family. A new area code 380 number is excellent for reaching out to Columbus clients or prospective business partners and is more personal than dialing from a toll-free number. 800 telephone numbers can make you seem less professional, while a local number will help you win points with your new clients.

A SECOND PHONE LINE HELPS YOU STAY ORGANIZED

You can have a small business to justify a second phone line. For example, let's say that you often work in sales. Or maybe you have a hobby that requires dialing strangers, such as selling on eBay or Craigslist. What if you want to keep your personal line separate from these other phone calls? Simple. A second phone line will help you stay organized, creating a boundary between one type of call and personal calls.

KNOWING WHAT IT MEANS WHEN A PHONE RINGS

Let's say you have one phone number for friends and family and one phone number for dialing and signing up for business services. Those business services will sign you up for third-party advertising lists, which can be a significant hassle. If you can keep one of your phones attuned to these third-party advertising lists, you can keep your phone on all the time, enjoying the blissful serenity that comes with not having to answer so many unwanted calls.
The best part? When you have a second phone number like this, you can use a 380 area code number or a unique mobile number—it doesn't matter. You can assign all sorts of accounts to the new phone, which means that any time someone signs you up for those third-party advertising lists, they're only signing up for that second phone.

SUMMARY

The area code 380 number services Columbus along with Franklin, Fairfield, Delaware, Madison, Union, and Pickaway counties. There are a few ways to change your area code to 380, but no option is cheaper or easier than using the SLYNUMBER app.
