Area code 765

Area code 765 serves Indiana, including Lafayette, Anderson and Kokomo (Eastern time). It has been in service since February 1, 1997.

Numbers starting with 765 drew 1,336 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 340 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 765 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 765 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 80% 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.
