Area code 326

Area code 326 serves Ohio, including Dayton, Beavercreek and Englewood (Eastern time). It has been in service since March 8, 2020 and shares its area with 937.

Numbers starting with 326 drew 345 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 126 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 326 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 326 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 100% 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.
