Coverage
Where does the 704 area code apply?
The 704 area code was assigned in 1947 as one of the original 86 North American Numbering Plan area codes and originally covered all of North Carolina. A 1954 split created area code 919 for the eastern part of the state, and a 1998 split carved out 828 for the western mountains, narrowing 704 down to Charlotte and its surrounding Piedmont counties.
Since 2001, the overlay code 980 has shared the same territory to meet growing demand — North Carolina's first overlay. A 704 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your Charlotte customers, wherever your team works from.

Phone number essentials

Number format
- +1 704 XXX XXXX internationally; 704-XXX-XXXX within the United States.
Local dialing
- Ten-digit dialing is required across the 704/980 overlay area: the area code followed by the seven-digit local number.
Number type

Cloud operation

Same territory
704 or 980: which should you choose?
Both area codes cover the same Charlotte-area territory. 704 is the original code, assigned in 1947 and narrowed to the Charlotte region through later splits; 980 was added afterward, in 2001, as an overlay across the same footprint. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
Why 704
