Area code 680

Area code 680 serves New York, including Syracuse, Lyons and Utica (Eastern time). It has been in service since March 11, 2017 and shares its area with 315.

Numbers starting with 680 drew 757 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 670 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 680 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 680 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.
