area code 262 covers much of Southeastern Wisconsin, and was created on September 25, 1999, when it was split from area code 414. It covers most of the suburbs of Milwaukee but not[Milwaukee County itself.

The eastern portion of Wisconsin had been served by 414 for half a century until Green Bay and the Fox River Valley split off as area code 920in 1997. Although this was intended as a long-term solution, within a year 414 was back to the brink of exhaustion due to the continued proliferation of cell phones and pagers. When it became apparent that 414 was running out of numbers, original plans called for 262 to be an overlay for all of southeastern Wisconsin. However, overlays were a new concept at the time, and met with some resistance to the mixing of area codes in the same area and the ensuing requirement for ten-digit dialing. As a result, 262 was made a separate area code for nearly all of the old 414 territory outside Milwaukee County. Despite the Milwaukee area’s continued growth, 262 is nowhere near exhaustion. Projections in early 2019 suggested the Milwaukee suburbs would not need another area code until 2044 at the earliest, but later in 2019 no exhaust date was listed, meaning the date is 30 years or more in the future. Counties served by this area code:  
Ten-digit dialing:  
Area code 915 has telephone numbers assigned for the central office code (e.g., 988-0199). As of October 17, 2020, 988 has been assigned by law as a three-digit code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.To avoid conflicts in switching systems, the Federal Communications Commission. Commission has ordered telecommunication carriers of 83 area codes, including 915, to transition to ten-digit dialing in the respective numbering plan area, even though it is not part of an overlay plan. Alternatively, the 988 prefix may be retired in the numbering plan. Per the timeline set by the North American Numbering Plan. Administrator, permissive dialing begins on April 24, 2021 and ten-digit dialing is required starting on October 24, 2021.  
Area code 262 is the area code for the suburbs of Milwaukee. It includes the cities of Kenosha, Racine, and Waukesha. It is the only area code that serves the area.  
What time zone is area code 262?  
The 262 area code is located in the Central time zone. The Central time zone is also known as America/Chicago. As of the last time this page was loaded, the current time is 7:09am.  
History:  
262 was first put in service September 25, 1999. It was created from area code 414. To avoid exhausting all possible phone numbers in this area code, relief planning has begun.

Which city is US area code 262?

The [262 city code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_262) is currently unassigned to cover most of Southeastern Wisconsin. The number was created in 1999 when there was a split from area code 414. Mixing city codes was becoming popular at that time but was met with resistance from residents. As a result, 262 was created as a stand alone city code. Currently, it covers several counties including Kenosha, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha. It also covers many suburbs of Milwaukee but does not cover Milwaukee County itself.  
Receiving Calls:  
Don’t be alarmed if you receive a call with a 262 city code prefix. It could be a legitimate phone call. If you don’t know anyone in that area, it could a business call or from a telemarketer. You can let it go to voicemail. The message left on your voicemail (if any) will tip you off if the call is a scam. Most of the people reporting spam calls claim the caller just hangs up or doesn’t leave a message. Both are common practices for scammers.  
Before you return a call to a number in the 262 area code, use a reverse phone search to learn if the number is legitimate. If the call is a scam, user your phone to block the number to cut down on the calls. If the caller is insistent on obtaining your information or makes threats, report the call immediately to local law enforcement.  
Throughout the world, every country has a country code list that is unique, making it easy to place calls anywhere in the world to any other county. However, before you dial international calling codes, you need to notify the telephone system by including all the appropriate information. The international direct dial (IDD) designations are the international phone codes you add to international numbers. IDDs differ from one country to another. For example, to dial France from the United States and the United Kingdom, two different codes need to be added at the beginning of the international phone number. For international calling codes, most countries have two-digit country codes. For instance, France’s country code is 33, and the United Kingdom’s country code is 44. The United States’ country code is an exception, with just the code 1. Some smaller countries have three-digit international telephone codes, such as the Republic of Ireland’s country code, which is 353. Since you need to dial a range of IDDs to make international calls in the various countries, it is easier to use the plus (+) sign to represent the code rather than writing an international dialing codes with a zero (0) or double zero (00). That means a phone number in the UK might be written as +44 1296 999999. In several countries, you may need to add a zero (0) when dialing a number inside the same country. Depending on how you look at it, you might eliminate the zero (0) when placing a call. For example:

- To dial a number in the United Kingdom, dial the internal area code (01296). The number would look like this: 01296 999999.
- To call the same number from outside of the UK, it is not necessary to add the zero (0) before the area code. In this example, the number would be just 1296 999999. Then also include the country code with the number, making it 44 1296 999999.
- If you want to dial the same number from France, for instance, you would need to dial double zero (00) first, as this is necessary for France to initiate an international phone call. Putting it all together, in this case, makes the phone number 00 44 1296 999999. If you have not travelled abroad before, or you are visiting a new country, placing a phone call home may get complicated. For example, if you are travelling from the United States and you are used to dialing 011 before the country code of an international call, you might be confused in Europe, where you dial double zero (00). If you are trying to call a number that is written as follows, it is most likely an international number:
- 011 44 9999 999999
- 00 44 9999 999999
- +44 9999 999999  
If the number you want to call looks like one of these, it probably is not an international number, which means you do not need to add the country code at the beginning:
- 6 999 999 999
- 08 99 99 99 99
- 01296 999 999  
To summarize, when you want to place an international call:

1. Dial the IDD, which for majority of the world is 00 or 011.
2. Add the country code from the country code list.
3. Then dial the target number, leaving off the first zero if there is one.  
If you experience any problems or issues, just call the local operator and request help placing the call.
