What are the 254 Area Code Phone Numbers?
Area code 254, introduced on May 25, 1997, covers the Waco, Killeen, and Temple areas in Texas, following a divide from area code 817. This area code encompasses various counties such as Bell, Bosque, Coryell, Falls, Hamilton, Hill, Lampasas, Limestone, McLennan, and Milam, with Waco being the largest city in the region. Nearby area codes include 940, 903/430, 682/817, 512/737, 432, and 325. Despite being a single area code, 254 requires ten-digit dialing for local calls because of the nationwide designation of 988 as the dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which conflicts with existing numbers. The shift to ten-digit dialing was completed by October 4, 2021, ensuring easy connectivity within the region. Area code 254 plays a crucial role in managing connectivity and supporting the growing population and businesses in this vibrant part of Texas.
