Area code 830

Area code 830 serves Texas, including New Braunfels, Del Rio and Seguin (Central time). It has been in service since July 7, 1997.

Numbers starting with 830 drew 2,398 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 604 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so an 830 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 830 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 82% 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.
