There seems to be some confusion around the world – the 620 code isn’t actually a country code! It’s a telephone area code specific to a region within the United States.
620 country code
Country codes, typically consisting of one to three digits, are used internationally to identify the country from which a phone number originates. For instance, the US has country code 1. So, if you see a phone number starting with +1, you know it’s from the States.
The 620 code, on the other hand, functions within the US to designate a specific area. In this case, 620 covers most of southern Kansas, encompassing cities like Dodge City, Garden City, and Hutchinson. It was created in 2001 due to the growing need for new phone numbers in the region, particularly with the rise of mobile phones.
So, the next time you encounter the 620 code, remember it’s not a country calling code, but a friendly reminder to say “Howdy” to southern Kansas!
