Area code 539

Area code 539 serves Oklahoma, including Tulsa, Broken Arrow and Bartlesville (Central time). It has been in service since April 1, 2011 and shares its area with 918.

Numbers starting with 539 drew 441 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 149 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 539 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 539 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 98% 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.
