Area code 918

Area code 918 serves Oklahoma, including Tulsa, Broken Arrow and Muskogee (Central time). It has been in service since January 1, 1953 and shares its area with 539.

Numbers starting with 918 drew 2,406 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 546 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 918 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 918 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 65% 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.
