Will You Be Affected by Colorado's Newest Area Code?

For many years, the primary area codes in Colorado have been 303, 719, and 970. Originally, the entire state was under the 303 area code, but as the number of phone numbers increased, the other two were introduced.

The 719 area code covers much of the area south of Denver to the New Mexico border, encompassing the cities of Colorado Springs and Pueblo, while 970 is assigned to, essentially, the rest of the state with the exception of the Denver metro area.

However, beginning on July 7, 2025, the new 748 area code will be implemented in areas currently covered by 970.

These areas are set to include the towns and cities of Aspen, Breckenridge, Durango, Estes Park, Fort Collins, Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction, Greeley, Loveland, Silverthorne, Steamboat Springs, and Vail.

While these are the most well-known, largely populated, and frequently visited cities and towns in which the 748 area code will be popping up, there are also a number of small towns located in the same area that will likely be receiving new numbers with the new area code once it's implemented next month.
