Area code 719

Area code 719 serves Colorado, including Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Canon City (Mountain time). It has been in service since March 5, 1988.

Numbers starting with 719 drew 2,095 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 1,248 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 719 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 719 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 68% 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.
