Area code 432

Area code 432 serves Texas, including Midland, Terminal and Odessa (Central time). It has been in service since April 5, 2003.

Numbers starting with 432 drew 1,063 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 265 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 432 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 432 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.
