About the 224 area code
Illinois uses 224 for Evanston and nearby communities including Chicago, Elgin, Waukegan, and Schaumburg. The code sits in the Central time zone.
In 2002, 224 arrived as an overlay for the area already handled by 847, and the pair have shared that footprint since. Because both codes occupy the same ground, dialing locally means entering all ten digits of the number.
Dialing note: 224 is part of an overlay complex with 847, 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 10/08/2026.
