Area code 915

Area code 915 serves Texas, including El Paso, Clint and Canutillo (Central and Mountain time). It has been in service since January 1, 1947.

Numbers starting with 915 drew 983 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 303 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 915 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 915 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 74% 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.
