Area code 574

Area code 574 serves Indiana, including South Bend, Elkhart and Goshen (Eastern and Central time). It has been in service since January 15, 2002.

Numbers starting with 574 drew 1,899 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 271 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 574 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 574 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 75% 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.
