Area code 325

Area code 325 serves Texas, including Abilene, San Angelo and Brownwood (Central time). It has been in service since April 5, 2003.

Numbers starting with 325 drew 865 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 355 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 325 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 325 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 72% 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.
