Area code 956
(Redirected from 956 area code)
Area code 956 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan for the Lower and Middle Rio Grande Valley regions in the U.S. state of Texas. The numbering plan area includes the communities of Brownsville, McAllen, Laredo and South Padre Island. The area code was created May 25, 1997, in a split from area code 210.
Current projections suggest that 956 will exhaust by late 2027 and an additional area code will be required in the Rio Grande Valley before such time.[1]
