About Area Code 757
Area code 757 is a North American Numbering Plan (NANP) area code that has been in service since 1996. It is administered by NANPA on behalf of the FCC and serves the Virginia region anchored on Norfolk.
757 now shares its territory with an overlay code (948). 10-digit dialling is required for local calls within this region because the same 7-digit number can be assigned under either code.
Mobile numbers in 757 are portable: a person who moved away from Norfolk may still carry a 757 mobile number on their device. If you receive an unexpected call from a 757 number, run it through the reverse lookup tool above for the most accurate, free identification.
