208 is the North American telephone area code for the entire state of Idaho. Idaho is one of the few remaining states that has one area code due to its low population. In 2001 the Federal Communications Commission projected the 208 area code would be exhausted in 2003, but in 2002 the Idaho Public Utilities Commission was able to successfully delay a split by implementing number pooling in the Boise area.

  • 208 is the North American telephone area code for the entire state of Idaho. Idaho is one of the few remaining states that has one area code due to its low population. In 2001 the Federal Communications Commission projected the 208 area code would be exhausted in 2003, but in 2002 the Idaho Public Utilities Commission was able to successfully delay a split by implementing number pooling in the Boise area. In 2007 number pooling was implemented statewide to stave off another projected exhaustion in 2010. There are currently no plans to split or overlay the 208 area code.
