About the 208 area code
Boise anchors area code 208 in Idaho, together with Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, and Caldwell. The territory is broad enough to span two time zones, Mountain and Pacific.
Among the codes switched on in 1947, 208 has never been split. Code 986 was later introduced as an overlay across the same area, and with two codes side by side, callers dial ten digits to complete local calls.
Dialing note: 208 is part of an overlay complex with 986, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
