Area code 757

Area code 757 serves Virginia, including Norfolk Zone 2, Newport News Zone 3 and Norfolk Zone 3 (Eastern time). It has been in service since July 1, 1996 and shares its area with 948.

Numbers starting with 757 drew 2,779 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 1,046 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 757 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 757 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 69% 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.
