The 208 area code was created in 1957 as a split from the original 208 that once covered all of Idaho. Today, 208 is exclusively tied to Idaho, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Boise – the bustling heart of the city
Nampa – a growing community with charm
Pocatello – known for its rich culture and history
For generations, 208 has represented Idaho pride, offering the best of state life with quick access to all regions.
The 208 area code operates in the Mountain Time Zone (MT)–the same time zone as Idaho. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 208 number means you’re aligned with Mountain Standard Time (MST) in winter and Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) in summer.
The 208 area code covers all of Idaho, including:
Boise
Nampa
Pocatello
and many more.
Getting a 208 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Idaho’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
