About the 803 area code
Since 1947, area code 803 has belonged to Columbia, South Carolina, reaching Rock Hill and Sumter as well. Eastern time is in use throughout.
It was among the first codes assigned that year. Over time 843 and 864 were carved from its territory, and 839 now shares the remaining area as an overlay, an arrangement that requires ten digits for every local call placed within it.
Dialing note: 803 is part of an overlay complex with 839, 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.
