Area code 726

Area code 726 serves Texas, including San Antonio (Central time). It has been in service since October 23, 2017 and shares its area with 210.

Numbers starting with 726 drew 241 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 207 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 726 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 726 exchanges
