What is area code 325?

Area code 325 is a North American telephone area code for the state of Texas. It covers an area of central Texas, including the cities of Abilene, San Angelo, and Brownwood. Area code 325 was created in 2003 as an overlay of area code 915 to accommodate the increasing demand for telephone numbers in the region.

Some notable cities and towns within area code 325 include Ballinger, Brady, Eden, Mason, Menard, Merkel, and Sonora. The area code serves a largely rural and agricultural region, with a mix of small towns and rural communities.

Because of the overlay nature of area code 325, dialing 10 or 11 digits (including the area code) is required for all local calls within the area. Additionally, the area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan, which is the system used for assigning telephone numbers in the United States, Canada, and certain other countries in the Caribbean.
