The 248 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 248 that once covered all of Oakland County. Today, 248 is exclusively tied to Oakland County, located near Detroit. It covers iconic communities like:
Troy – the bustling heart of the area
Royal Oak – the vibrant, diverse community
Southfield – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 248 has represented Michigan pride, offering the best of suburban life with fast access to Detroit.
The 248 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Oakland County. 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 248 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 248 area code covers all of Oakland County, including:
Troy
Royal Oak
Southfield
and many more.
Getting a 248 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Michigan’s busiest suburban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
