Area code 308

Area code 308 serves Nebraska, including Grand Island, Kearney and Scottsbluff (Central and Mountain time). It has been in service since January 1, 1955.

Numbers starting with 308 drew 467 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 162 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 308 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 308 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 62% of these exchanges are pooled: their numbers are handed out in blocks of 1,000 to other carriers, so the holder below is not always the company serving a given number.
