608 Area Code: Location, Time Zone & Phone Lookup - Page 2

Area code 608 is one of the original area codes established in 1947. It originally served the entire state of Wisconsin. In 1984, area code 414 was created to serve the Milwaukee metropolitan area, and area code 608 was reduced to serve the rest of the state. Over the years, the 608 area code has been subject to several changes. In 1995, area code 608 was overlaid with area code 262, which served the Milwaukee metropolitan area. In 2007, area code 920 was overlaid with area code 608, which served the Green Bay metropolitan area.

Today, the 608 area code serves the entire state of Wisconsin. It is projected that the 608 area code will run out of phone numbers by 2020. In anticipation of this, the Wisconsin Public Service Commission is considering a proposal to split the 608 area code into two area codes.
