About the 401 area code
Since 1947, area code 401 has belonged to Rhode Island, linking Providence with Cranston, Warwick, Pawtucket, and East Providence, all inside the Eastern time zone.
It stands among the original assignments from that first year and has never been split or overlaid in the decades since. As a result, 401 still covers today the same territory it received at the start.
Dialing note: 401 has been in service since 1947, making it one of the original North American area codes.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
