Coverage
Where does the 954 area code apply?
The 954 area code serves Broward County, Florida — including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs and Deerfield Beach. It was created in September 1995 when rapid growth in southeastern Florida required splitting the original 305 area code, which until then covered the whole Miami metropolitan area.
In 2001, the Florida Public Service Commission approved 754 as an all-services overlay on the same territory, and NANPA phased in the new code through 2002. A 954 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony keeps your business local for Broward County customers, wherever your team is based.

Same territory
954 or 754: which should you choose?
Both area codes cover the same territory: Broward County. 954 is the original code, in service since 1995; 754 was added as an overlay in 2001-2002 once 954 numbers began running short. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
