Area code 937

Area code 937 serves Ohio, including Dayton, Springfield and Beavercreek (Eastern time). It has been in service since September 28, 1996 and shares its area with 326.

Numbers starting with 937 drew 1,761 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 610 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 937 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 937 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 70% 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.
