About the 540 area code
Since 1995, area code 540 has served Virginia communities such as Fredericksburg, Roanoke, Harrisonburg, and Winchester, all of them on Eastern time (GMT -5).
The code's territory once belonged to area code 703, and 276 was later split away from it in turn. Today 540 forms an overlay complex with area code 826, which shares its footprint, so callers dial ten digits even for local numbers.
Dialing note: 540 is part of an overlay complex with 826, 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.
