01 — NORTH DAKOTA AT A GLANCE
North Dakota, by the numbers.
North Dakota was assigned a single area code in 1947: 701, covering the entire state. For 78 years 701 has carried all of North Dakota — Fargo in the east, Bismarck in the center, Williston and the Bakken oil fields in the west.
North Dakota is one of only 11 US states that have never received an additional area code. With just 780K residents (47th of 50), 701 has comfortably served the state without splits or overlays. Even the Bakken oil boom of the 2010s didn't exhaust 701's number capacity.
Like its southern neighbor, North Dakota spans two time zones — the eastern half is Central Time, the western half (Williston, Dickinson, the Bakken region) is Mountain Time — all under the single 701 area code. "701" has become a regional identity badge in a state with one of the most distinctive area-code attachments.
DID YOU KNOW?
North Dakota is the least-visited US state by international tourists, but its 701 area code has gained recognition through the Bakken oil boom — a 2010s drilling expansion that brought tens of thousands of workers to western ND and made 701 a temporary "boom town" prefix. Even at peak boom, 701 didn't need a split.

05 — WHY NORTH DAKOTA
Six reasons to pick a North Dakota number.
A local North Dakota prefix outperforms an out-of-state cell at every customer touchpoint.
Bakken oil-industry credibility
A 701 prefix carries western ND oil-patch credibility — useful for energy contractors, drilling services and Williston-area logistics businesses.
Cover both time zones with one prefix
ND spans Central and Mountain time zones. 701 covers both — useful for businesses operating across eastern (Fargo/Grand Forks) and western (Williston/Dickinson) Dakota.
Agriculture + UND credibility
701 works for both farming (wheat, soybeans) and academic contexts (University of North Dakota, NDSU). Locals recognise it as native to the Plains.
STIR/SHAKEN-clean caller ID
NANPA-routed North Dakota numbers pass carrier authentication, so cold-call recipients see your local prefix instead of a flagged "Spam Likely" tag.
Held free if you pause
Cancel service and your North Dakota number is reserved free for 12 months — keep your 701 across oil-rig contract cycles and seasonal farming patterns.

09 — ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions about North Dakota area codes.
What is North Dakota's area code?
701 — assigned in 1947 when the NANP launched. It has been North Dakota's only area code for 78 years, covering Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks, Minot, West Fargo, Williston, Dickinson and every town across all 53 counties.
Does North Dakota have only one area code?
Yes. North Dakota has never been split or overlaid — 701 covers the entire state and has since 1947. ND is one of only 11 US states with a single original area code.
What area code is Fargo?
701 — covers Fargo (ND's largest city), West Fargo, Moorhead (on the MN side, but ND-facing businesses often use 701), Grand Forks and the entire Red River Valley.
What area code is Williston and the Bakken?
701 — same as the rest of the state. Covers Williston, Dickinson, Watford City, Minot and the western ND oil patch / Bakken Formation. (Western ND is on Mountain Time but still uses 701.)
Why does North Dakota have only one area code?
North Dakota's small population (780K) means 701 has number capacity for decades to come. Even the 2010s Bakken oil boom — which brought tens of thousands of workers and businesses to western ND — didn't exhaust 701's number supply.
Can I get a North Dakota number if I don't live in ND?
Yes. CallMama doesn't require a North Dakota billing address or proof of in-state residency. Pick a 701 ND number from anywhere in the world — useful for Bakken oil contractors, ND-connected businesses or Plains agricultural operations.
Will my outbound calls show a North Dakota prefix?
Yes. Every outbound call displays your 701 area code on the recipient's caller ID — Fargoans, Bismarckites, Grand Forks Hawks fans and Bakken oil workers all see a familiar prefix.
Can I port my existing North Dakota number to CallMama?
Yes. Any ND number from CenturyLink, Midco, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile or any other US carrier can be ported in. Porting typically completes in 3–7 business days.
