Area code 945

Area code 945 serves Texas, including Grand Prairie, Dallas and Frisco (Central time). It has been in service since January 15, 2021 and shares its area with 214, 469 and 972.

Numbers starting with 945 drew 880 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 306 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 945 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 945 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 100% 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.
