Area code 457

Area code 457 serves Louisiana (Central time). It has been in service since September 25, 2025 and shares its area with 318.

Numbers starting with 457 drew 7 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 2 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 457 number proves nothing about where a call came from.
